Place the potato cubes and cauliflower florets in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, until both are completely tender when pierced with a fork. Add the frozen peas in the last 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
