Prepare all the ingredients. Wash the potatoes well. Take the green peas out of the freezer. While we deal with the potatoes, the peas will thaw a little. It is better to use frozen green peas, as it is more vibrant and nutritious, unlike canned peas, and almost as fresh in taste. The proportions of potatoes and peas are not essential. You can add more peas or potatoes, changing the taste in one direction or another. Wash and dry the greens. You can use any greens you like (parsley, dill, green onions). Try making this mashed potatoes with mint, it pairs very well with legumes and gives such dishes interesting spicy flavor nuances. I really like this mashed potatoes with thyme, and I used it. If you want to make this dish fasting, replace the butter with vegetable oil.
