Oh, my grandma used to make this all the time. She lived on a farm and
would fry chicken, or throw a pork roast in the pressure cooker and we'd
have the creamed potatoes. Boy, this list sure makes me remember a lot
of things. (smile)

Hi.
Here's my first contribution to the list. It's easy to make, and with a little
salt and pepper to taste, it's quite good.
Ingredients:
2 pounds small new creamer or other small potato
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup whipping/heavy cream
1 - 16 ounce package frozen peas, thawed and drained Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook potatoes in pot of boiling water until just tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain and cool. Cut potatoes in half. Melt butter in heavy large saucepan
over low heat. Add flour; whisk until mixture bubbles and thickens (do not
brown), about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk. Bring to simmer,
whisking often (sauce will be thick). Simmer until very thick, stirring often,
about 10 minutes. Mix in cream. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in
potatoes. Mix peas into sauce and cook over medium-low heat until vegetables
are heated through, stirring often, about 6 minutes.
Note: My girlfriend and I made this recipe last night, and it turned out
excellent, just as I remember. She suggested adding bacon bits to it, and maybe
some parmesan cheese. I never thought of that, but it wouldn't hurt.
Kevin, my girlfriend Valerie, and furry Jilly
