A creamy homemade white sauce served over mashed potatoes with peas.
This white sauce is creamy and delicious! It's the same recipe I use for creamed eggs. We like it over mashed potatoes with cooked peas sprinkled on top.

Peel potatoes and cut them into chunks. Put the chunks in a pot, cover with water, and boil until soft (about 10 – 15 minutes).
While potatoes are cooking, start on the white sauce. In a large saucepan, melt butter and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour is heated through.
Gradually add milk, continuing to stir. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Turn sauce down to keep warm.
Drain the water from the potatoes. Mash them with a potato masher, then stir in butter, milk, and salt to taste.
Serve white sauce over mashed potatoes and top with cooked peas!
