HAM HOCKS WITH NEW POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS IN POT LIKKER
This recipe was entitled "Abraham Lincoln's Favorite Dinner" in the The Big Platter Cookbook by Lou Jane Temple and A. Court Simmes. It calls for sliced ham hocks, which your butcher can cut up for you. I have made it with a big chunk of ham and it turned out great. You could also use smoked pork shank. We prefer to cook the onion with the rest of the vegetables rather than serve raw.

Steps:
- Place the slices of ham hock into the bottom of a tall stockpot. Add enough cold water to barely cover. Place the new potatoes on top of the pork and the string beans on top of the new potatoes.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 2 hours.
- Remove string beans, new potatoes, and pork from the pot. Reserve the cooking liquid (known as "pot likker" in some parts of the country.). Take the meat off the bones, trim off the fat, and reserve the meat.
- Roughly chop the potatoes and spread them in a layer on a large platter. Dot generously with butter and freshly ground pepper. Place the string beans on top of the potato layer and then top with the pork. Drizzle some of the reserved "pot likker" over all and sprinkle with the diced white onion.
- Everyone should take some of everything, along with a slice or two of cornbread. Good eatin!

CRAZY-SIMPLE COTTAGE HAM, POTATOES, AND GREEN BEANS
Cottage ham is one of my favorite dishes to eat because it's rich in flavor and incredibly simple to make. Requiring only five ingredients and five minutes of prep time, this dish could quickly become a go-to meal in your household. If you can't wait the hour it takes to cook, drop it in a slow cooker in the morning, and it'll be ready when you get home.

NEW POTATOES, GREEN BEANS AND HAM
This recipe was given to me by my Mother-in-law who raised 9 children and taught school for 40 years and didn't have much time to cook. It remains a family favorite with my children. Last night I had no broth, so I mixed Lipton's Garlic and Herb soup (1 packet) and 4 cups of water and it was wonderful, really added richness to the broth.

SLOW COOKER GREEN BEANS, HAM AND POTATOES
I make this dish often; I have never really measured the ingredients, but can give you a reasonable approximation. Note: Freeze leftover cooking liquid, and then add to bean soup, ham or cabbage dishes, or use to cook dumplings in. It's delicious!
