Place potatoes in sauce pan and cover with water. Add salt and cook over medium heat till fork tender @12 min. Add fresh or frozen peas in last two minutes of cooking.
While potatoes are cooking make the cream sauce. Melt butter in sauce pan over low heat. stir in flour, salt and pepper to make a light roux. When you have a nice blond roux pour in all the milk and stir constantly. Sauce will thicken, if it starts to bubble, remove from heat and turn down burner.
Drain potatoes and peas and place in serving dish. Pour the cream sauce over all and garnish with green onion tops. Should serve four.
To kick this up a notch, add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to the cream sauce.
Alternate garnishes, chives, a simple grating of nutmeg or crumbled bacon bits
