Yes, you got it right, except we never heard of Yukon gold potatoes. We grew up on this dish in the spring time. English peas & creamed new potatoes. Such a good memory.

Kelley,

New potatoes and fresh peas from your Grandmother’s garden sounds heavenly. I have hard time growing garden peas here because the window to get them in the ground is short. Plus, it can get too hot for them too quickly. If this post stirred a pleasant memory for you then my job is done. 🙂

My grandma used to make something similar, but only during the summer when the new potatoes and fresh peas were coming in the garden. I never knew how she made them, but potatoes and peas were my favorite when we’d go to stay with her during the summer. I just remember new potatoes with peas in a cream sauce with lots of butter. Oh, the memories…

My mema had me eat peas this way as a child and I still eat them this way now. So good and comforting.

Jill,

You would have loved my Granny. She was a character! You would love Granddaddy, too. He’s the sweetest, most God-like man I’ve ever known. I’m blessed beyond measure to have been born into that family.

Once again, I love your stories, and I really think I would have loved your Grandmother. Loved this quote from your Grandma “If it don’t taste good in yo’ mouth, it ain’t a-gonna taste good in nobody else’s, either.” Jill Van Vlack

Mama used to make this quite often……..haven’t had it in years. Love these nostalgic recipes. The bacon grease has to take this over the top!!!! Pinned. Making this soon.
