Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs fresh, frozen or canned green beans ((If fresh, remove ends and break into pieces and wash the beans))
6 or 7 red potatoes (cut in pieces (I have made this using any kind of potatoes))
1 to 2 cups chicken broth or 1 (14.5 ounce can (You don't have to use the chicken broth. I just think it makes them better))
1 ham hock (Can use cooked ham, bacon, pork jowl or salt pork about a half cup, chopped)
2 to 3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely diced onion (Optional)
1 teaspoon minced garlic (Optional)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a large pot, bring to a boil, then turn to medium low and cook about 1 1/2 hours until potatoes are done and water has cooked down. You can also do this in the crockpot and let cook on low 6 to 7 hours or high 4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape better when boiled and are less likely to fall apart. If you prefer a creamier texture, use starchy potatoes, such as Russet or Idaho.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water: Adding salt to the water helps to flavor the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland. Use about 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon of water.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-12 minutes for small potatoes and 15-20 minutes for larger potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes well: After boiling, drain the potatoes immediately to prevent them from becoming waterlogged. You can shake them in a colander or use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pot.
  • Season the potatoes to taste: Add butter, salt, pepper, or other seasonings to the potatoes while they are still hot. This will help them absorb the flavors better.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Boiled potatoes are best served hot or warm. You can reheat them in the microwave or oven, but they will not be as good as when they are freshly cooked.

Conclusion:

Boiling potatoes and green beans is a simple and delicious way to enjoy these healthy vegetables. This classic dish can be served as a side dish or main course, and it is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple tips, you can easily make perfect boiled potatoes and green beans that your family and friends will love.
