Steps:
- In a pan put your string beans and potatoes.
- Pour enough water to go up about 1/2 way.
- Add salt.
- Cover.
- And bring to a boil.
- Cook until potatoes and beans are tender.
- Drain water into a large measuring cup.
- Take a small iron skillet, melt butter, add enough flour to make a roux to thicken the beans with.
- When the roux is a good golden color add the garlic and saute but do not brown the garlic.
- Add some of the bean/potato liquid to the roux and stir constently until you get the consistency of sauce you would like for your beans.
- Before you add the sauce, use your wooden spoon.
- With the back of the spoon mash a few of the potatoes so they will blend with the sauce, but leave others whole.
- Mix everything together and cook just a few moments until the beans and potatoes have taken on a little of the flavor of the sauce.
- Taste to make sure there is enough salt.
- If not this is the time to add it.
- Last but not least just before serving stir in 1 Tblsp. sour cream.
