SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES
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.

Steps:

OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES
An old southern recipe from Mississippi for green beans and potatoes. You can delete the bacon or ham hock and they still taste good. Green beans adds a special taste to potatoes and I love it.

Steps:
- In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
- Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
- Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

GREEN BEAN AND FINGERLING POTATO SALAD

Yield Serves 12 as part of a buffet
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- In a large kettle, simmer potatoes in salted water to cover until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes, and drain in a large colander.
- In a large saucepan, cook beans in 3 inches salted boiling water over high heat until crisp-tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. With tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer beans to colander with potatoes and drain well.
- In a large bowl, toss together warm potatoes, beans, herbs, oil, zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Serve salad warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For perfectly cooked potatoes, choose firm, waxy varieties like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. Avoid using starchy potatoes like Russets, as they tend to become mushy when boiled.
- To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes into uniform sizes. Smaller potatoes will cook faster than larger ones, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Season the boiling water generously with salt. This will help flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them immediately and transfer them to a serving bowl. This will help prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
- For a healthier option, steam the potatoes instead of boiling them. Steaming preserves more of the potatoes' nutrients and results in a lighter, fluffier texture.
- To enhance the flavor of the green beans, sauté them in butter or olive oil with garlic, salt, and pepper before serving.
- For a more vibrant color, blanch the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes before transferring them to an ice bath. This will stop the cooking process and preserve the beans' bright green color.
- Serve the boiled potatoes and green beans with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
Boiled potatoes and green beans is a simple yet satisfying dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily create a delicious and healthy meal that the whole family will love.
