~ Grams Country Style Potatoes & Green Beans ~ image

These green beans bring back many great memories of my Gram. I always admired what she was able to do with so little ingredients. This was one of my favorite meals she would make with the abundance of fresh green beans and new potatoes from her garden. She sure could cook and fresh veggies always made such a difference. Here's to...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 lb fresh green beans - ends snapped - cut into or into 3rds depending how big they are. steam or boil in salted water until crisp tender
8 slice bacon, chopped
2 medium new red potatoes - cubed ( i don't peel )
1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced
1/3 c water or more as needed ( i sometimes use chicken broth )
3/4 tsp salt
1 clove garlic, minced
fresh cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Steam or boil green beans until almost tender. They will cook longer in the skillet, so you don't want them mushy.
  • 2. In my cast iron skillet, I add the bacon and cook until not quite crisp.
  • 3. Add the onion, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper and water. Place a lid over the skillet and cook on med for 10 - 12 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Remove lid and add the beans and more water if going dry. Remain cooking until potatoes are tender and beans are as well.
  • 4. Serve hot. Gram would always make a huge skillet of these and usually would serve with fresh corn on the cob and sweet juicy tomato slices fresh from her garden. Enjoy!

I thought this dish was just okay. The potatoes were a little dry and the green beans were a little bland. I would probably not make this again.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or omitting it altogether.
