Ingredients

  • 1 lb green beans trim both ends
  • 1 lb potatoes peeled and diced into 1-2” pieces
  • 2-3 whole garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 2 tablespoon water or use chicken broth
  • salt and pepper

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin oil oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet on medium heat.
  • Add diced potatoes and roast them for 5 min to get a nice brown crust.
  • Then add green beans and garlic, salt and pepper; mix well.
  • Add water, cover the skillet, and cook the mixture for about 10-12 min or until the beans and potatoes are tender.
  • Before serving, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Potatoes take a little longer to cook. Therefore, roasting them for some time before adding the beans will help to cook them perfectly. Also, this way, potatoes develop a roasted crust and taste delicious.
  2. Also, stir the beans and potatoes every 3-4 min while cooking to avoid burning them. If needed, drizzle some water.
  3. Add a generous amount of seasonings, like salt and black pepper, to make the dish flavorful. You can also add some Italian seasoning blend or rosemary (fresh or dried) for more flavors.
  4. Any type of potatoes will work in this recipe. However, most of the time, I use russet and butter potatoes.
