Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh green beans
- 1½ lbs new potatoes baby Yukons or similar
- 6 Tbsp butter
- water, enough to cover veggies ~7-8 cups
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- Wash green beans and trim ends. Snap or cut into 2 inch pieces. Wash potatoes and cut in half.
- Add veggies to a large pot and add enough water to submerge veggies by 1-2 inches. Add in butter and salt liberally.
- Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are fork tender and green beans are soft and no longer bright--about 1 hour.
- Remove pot from heat and let stand 5-10 minutes before serving. Do not drain. Serve with a little of the broth, salt and some pepper, if desired.
- Keep leftovers refrigerated and enjoy within 4 days.
Notes
- Potatoes should be tender but not mashed. Some potatoes may begin to fall apart.
- Don't be shy with the salt! Add a good bit before cooking then add during cooking, if needed.
