I'm leaning toward mom!

I saw this recipe in the latest issue of Cuisine at Home. I thought for a second...did Cuisine at Home consult with my mom. We were raised on this dish. Every summer when the garden was in full harvest, we got so excited for potatoes and pea gravy. There's nothing like fresh potatoes and peas, right from the garden.

So I don't know who should really get the credit for this recipe...but I'm leaning toward mom!

POTATOES AND PEA GRAVY

1 lb. red new potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes; cut into 1-inch chunks

2 T. butter

2 C. frozen peas; thawed

1 t. sugar

salt & pepper to taste
