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.
GRANNY'S GREEN BEANS AND NEW POTATOES

Green Beans were on our Easter table this year. They cooked up relatively quick and really went well with the rest of our Easter menu.
When I cook Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes, I leave the green beans and the potatoes whole.

We love the leftovers, so I usually cook a lot at one time.

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 turn the heat down to low.
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.
