Betty's Homestyle Green Beans and New Potatoes Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Homestyle Green Beans and New Potatoes. These green beans and potatoes are a staple of Southern cooking. This is a lighter version of typical Southern green beans that I think you will enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 pound green beans, washed and broken into pieces about 1-inch long
1 pound small new potatoes (I used Red Pontiac variety.)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used canola oil.)
1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
water, as needed

Place 1 pound of prepared green beans in a medium-sized pot. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour water over the beans, until they are just covered. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for about 2 hours. Place new potatoes in with the (almost) cooked green beans. Add an additional ½ teaspoon salt, and additional water to cover the beans and potatoes. Bring back to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and cook until potatoes are done. Pour into a serving bowl and serve immediately. If there are leftovers, they may be refrigerated and re-heated the next day. They are actually even better tasting the second time around! Enjoy!!! --Betty 

You forgot the bacon!!

[bettyskitchen]

@angelsgurl I like bacon with these; I just don't like the extra fat and calories. These taste terrific without the bacon--but feel free to use bacon in yours! Thanks for commenting!

My roots are from the south and my grandma made this all the time when i was a kid. Simply fabulous Betty!!

Got some footage of my local market yesterday, tho produce as in short supply. There's another one at the other end of town i'll get some coverage of later, as well as my friends wonderful vegi garden.

Thanks Betty!!

When my mom watches the Foodnetwork and they cook green beans, she always comments they don't get them done. She cooks hers like you do only she adds either ham or bacon and that is how I grew up eating green beans.

@bettyskitchen I can't cook without onions and garlic....and the ham, I always keep some, chopped, in the freezer. I really enjoyed the video!

[bettyskitchen]

@Jaydit7 That sounds wonderful! I like all of your additions!

I make this every year...when fresh green beans and little red potatoes become available..I add onion and a little garlic to mine...and usually some cubed ham. I serve it as a main course w/sliced tomatoes and corn bread.....Heavenly! In fact, I'm going to fix this tomorrow.....
