If you're looking for green bean recipes, there's a good chance you'll stumble on a Southern interpretation of this soulful side. Our version uses fresh green beans and potatoes, but we have a fun trick—we peel a thin strip around the middle of each potato before cooking for textural contrast and pretty presentation. Show How to Make ItStep 1 Heat oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Step 2 Add stock, salt, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Simmer 10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced with a fork but still firm. Step 3 Add green beans, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 6 minutes.

Spoon over the vegetables, and gently fold to mix. Serve hot. You May Like
It’s been far too long since I’ve had fresh green beans. Like, maybe since last summer and that, my friends, is a tragedy. I love a fresh, still slightly crunchy green bean. The flavor is just so “green”, for lack of a better word. The freshness reminds me of summer, which I desperately need right now. So I paired my fresh green beans with some inexpensive (yet delicious) skillet potatoes and made an awesome side dish that can go with just about any dinner. This minimalist side dish paris easily with any grilled or roasted meat so, as the weather gets warmer and you start to take your cooking outside, remember this one. I kept the seasoning simple with just salt, freshly cracked pepper, garlic, and a little oregano to allow the natural flavors of the green beans shine through. The browned skillet potatoes make a great filler and add a wonderfully creamy element to the mix. This is the type of colorful and delicious side that would be perfect to feature along side a steak, grilled chicken, or even a homemade burger. NOM. Now I want to go grill something!
Adding fresh green beans to classic skillet potatoes invites freshness and a taste of spring. This simple side pairs perfectly with any grilled meat.

To do this, first cut the potato into quarters lengthwise, then slice across the potato into 1/4″ slices. The thin slices help the potatoes cook faster and provide a nice flat surface that will make contact with the skillet and get browned. Place the sliced potatoes in a pot, then cover with water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then let the potatoes simmer for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender. The pot will come to a boil faster with a lid in place, but once it starts boiling, you can remove the lid. Test the doneness of the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. The fork should pierce easily, but not make the potatoes crumble. Try not to over cook the potatoes at this stage, because they will cook further in the skillet. Once the potatoes are just tender, drain them in a colander. While the potatoes are boiling, you can prepare the green beans. Break the stems off of about .75 lbs. of fresh green beans, then break them into one to two inch sections. Rinse them with cool water. Mince two cloves of garlic and add them to a large skillet along with 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for one minute. Add the potatoes to the skillet and continue to sauté until about half of them are golden brown. Make sure to not stir the potatoes too often, or else they will not have an opportunity to brown (plus that will increase the likely hood of them crumbling). I only stirred once every 3-5 minutes. Add the rinsed green beans to the skillet potatoes and continue to sauté. Again, don’t over stir. When the green beans just begin to soften and have a few browned spots on them, season the skillet with about 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and a healthy dose of freshly cracked pepper. Continue to sauté for about a minute more. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy the freshness!
