Directions
String the washed sugar peas. (This is quickly done by cutting off the smallest end of the pod and pulling the string down the straight side. The other side can then be pulled from the blossom end.) Scrub the potatoes well and pare if you like- it is not necessary.
In one saucepan bring the peas and potatoes to a boil in 2 cups of water with salt and sugar added. Cook for 35 minutes. Add the milk or cream and butter. Keep over heat 1 minute more, then serve.
