Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes are a simple side dish full of flavors from the garden: homegrown green beans and the first crop of new potatoes.
OLD SCHOOL GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES
Growing up, we could not wait for the first crop of green beans and potatoes to come out of the garden.
Fresh vegetables are the best if they are fresh out of the garden, and you cannot beat them.
I love Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes cooked with ham or bacon.

This year, we served Green Beans on our Easter table. They were relatively quick to prepare and complemented the rest of our Easter menu.
When I cook Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes, I leave the green beans and the potatoes whole.
Try to keep all the potatoes close to the same size to avoid overcooking some and to prevent them from becoming mushy when you reheat them.
We love the leftovers, so I usually cook a lot at one time.
WHAT YOU NEED TO PREPARE GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES
Large, heavy-bottom Dutch oven
Fresh green beans with ends cut off or (4 (15 oz.) canned whole green beans)
Bacon, ham or salt pork, diced
New potatoes, washed
Salt and pepper
Coriander (optional)
HOW TO MAKE GARDEN NEW POTATOES AND GREEN BEANS
In a large Dutch Oven, cook green beans and bacon or ham pieces on medium heat with water up just over the beans. Cook for 30-45 minutes.
Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, and coriander, cover, and lower the heat.
Cook another 20-40 minutes or until the potatoes are done when pierced with a fork. (It depends on how big your potatoes are.)
The amount of ham, salt, and pepper can be adjusted to your taste.
