Directions
Step 1
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.

Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the cooked potatoes and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir gently to coat them in the cream sauce.
Step 6
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve the Potatoes and Peas in Cream warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a satisfying main course.
