Green beans and potatoes are a delicious side dish. A tablespoon of butter, or bacon grease, increases the flavor. This can be a wonderful, fresh from the garden side dish. Potatoes can be baked with their skin on or off. Red potatoes are a good choice, as are other tiny potatoes from the first potato dig of the year. If cooked on top of the stove, it needs to simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring every ten minutes. Green beans and potatoes can be grilled in an aluminum grill safe pan, or grill packet. See grilled green beans for more details.
