New Potatoes & Peas
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/new_potatoes_peas.html
From EatingWell: May/June 1991This simple side is a triple treat of spring delights: new potatoes, spring onions and fresh green peas. The flavors are so delicate that all that's needed to finish the dish is just a touch of butter, a few grinds of black pepper and some chopped fresh mint.
