New Potatoes and Peas

1 lb. whole tiny new potatoes
2 C. shelled fresh peas or one 10-oz. package frozen peas

Halve any large potatoes. Cook potatoes and fresh peas, if using, in a large saucepan, covered, in boiling water for 10 minutes. Add frozen peas, if using. Return mixture to boiling. Cover saucepan and cook vegetables 2 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Return potatoes and peas to the saucepan.
