CREAMED PARMESAN BABY POTATOES WITH PEAS AND PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Do not cut the small potatoes, leave whole and place then in a pot of boiling salted water; boil for about 20 minutes or until just fork-tender, drain and cool, then cut in half (this can be done well in advance).
• Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat.
• Add in the chopped garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
• Add in flour and whisk for 2 minutes (do not brown the flour).
• Gradually add in the full-fat milk (or half and half if using) bring to a simmer whisking continously for 1 minute.
• Add in the whipping cream; mix to combine, then add in the Parmesan cheese (sauce will be thick but will thin out slighty when you add in the peas and onions).
• Season with salt and lots of pepper or cayenne pepper; simmer over low heat for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
• Add in cooked potatoes, peas and onions; bring to a simmer and cook over low heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon until the onions are tender (about 5-6 minutes).
• Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
