Ingredients:
-
2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
-
2 cups of frozen peas
-
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
-
2 cloves of garlic, finely minced
-
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes and Peas
Begin by placing your peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot. Fill the pot with enough cold water to fully cover the potatoes and add a generous pinch of salt. This will help season the potatoes as they cook. Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently. Cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork but not falling apart.
