Honest isn't a word that comes up much when side dishes are being discussed, but that's exactly how these smashed potatoes and peas strike us. Serve them alongside the cornflake fried chicken for a southern-inspired supper for one. Ingredients:
6 ounces red boiling potatoes (about 4 small or 2 medium) |
1/3 cup frozen peas |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1/4 cup milk |
1 scallion, chopped |
Directions:
1. Generously cover potatoes with cold water in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer, covered, until just beginning to get tender, about 8 minutes.
2. Add peas and simmer, partially covered, until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, then return to pan. Add butter, milk, and 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Let stand off heat 1 minute, then add scallion. Coarsely mash.
