Chopping OnionsI’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

Very good! I did double the onion as suggested by others. Next time I'll also cut the milk by about 1/2 c. to make it thicker. We thought it was a little too runny.

This recipe was pretty good, but I made some changes. I used steamable frozen peas so they could easily just be cooked in the microwave. I only made half the recipe (becuase it's just my husband & I) but I increased the onions. Also, I felt the cream sauce was a little bland...I added more salt, thyme & sage. When it was all done the dish was flavorful, creamy & sweet from the peas. Will definitely make again.

Made half recipe only my husband and I but kept the onion amount the same. Used whole milk only. Very good.

It was o.k. but too rich for my taste. It was too much trouble to make for it not to be any better than it was.

This recipe was AMAZING!!!! I didn't have red potatoes on hand, but used Russets and the recipe was still Yummy. Even better the next day!!! A couple of small changes, didn't saute onions, but added green onion/scallion and added a tblspn or so of sugar.

I made this for Easter and everyone loved it. I did increase the chopped onions to 1/2 cup. I will definitely make again.

Excellent recipe, I do prepare it differently. I cook the potatoes till they are just about done, then add the peas to the same pan. When both are done cooking, I drain them an set aside. In the same pan I make the sauce, when I get it mixed well, I add the potatoes/peas back into the pot and cook till thickened. Great dish one pan.

My mother also made this recipe, what a great side with ham. The difference is, we add green onions, and in those days, whole milk, now it's fat free half and half!

We've had this recipe in our family for years - I use skim milk instead of the half and half and 2% milk. You really can't taste the difference. Also - small fresh garden onions are great - cooked slightly - and added to the creamed peas and potatoes.
