Notes
The highlight of this recipe is undoubtedly the velvety sauce that develops as it cooks.
To prevent the cream from curdling, ensure it's at room temperature and add it gradually to the skillet. Pour it in slowly while mixing or whisking it into the sautéed onion mixture during the cooking process.
Creamy potatoes and peas can be stored in the refrigerator for approximately 5 days when covered. They freeze well, but if you wish to refresh them, simply add freshly cooked diced potatoes and some fresh peas, and your dish will be ready to enjoy!
