Tips for Perfect Creamed Potatoes and Peas

Don’t overcook potatoes: You want them tender but still holding their shape.
Use starchy potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet yield the creamiest texture.
Keep stirring the sauce: This prevents burning or lumps.
Add cheese for a twist: Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar for a cheesy version.
Make it meaty: Toss in cooked bacon bits or diced ham for a heartier dish.

Variations

Vegan Version: Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk like oat or almond. Omit cream or use coconut cream.
Spicy Kick: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or crushed red chili flakes.
Herbed Version: Stir in dried thyme, rosemary, or dill for an aromatic twist.
