Creamed Potatoes & Peas Recipe

OMG, my employee brought creamed peas and potatoes that came right out of his garden.  I remember when my Mom used to make these when I was a little kid. Two vegetable favorites are combined in this creamy dish that can be enjoyed as an accompaniment for roasted meat or as a hearty, vegetarian main meal.
