Ingredients and Substitutions
This is the kind of easy cooking I’m obsessed with. A satisfying, tasty and easy side dish that works with a variety of mains is just what we need. From easy weeknight dinners to holiday feasts, this recipe will be a hit on any table. Adding crispy cubes of bacon is a great idea for a special occasion and adds a huge boost of flavor.
Olive oil. Avocado oil or butter are great substitutes. Potatoes. I used baby potatoes but you can use chopped large potatoes too. Russet potatoes or Yukon Golds will work well here. Fresh green beans. Garlic powder. Fresh garlic cloves can be used instead. Sea salt and black pepper. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes/chilli flakes will add a bit of heat. dried herbs like thyme, oregano and sage will all be delicious additions. Other spices like paprika can be added but I don’t find it necessary.
How to make green beans and potatoes
Can I make this ahead?
The green beans will definitely not be as crisp-tender as when you first made them but any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a large pan or in a microwave oven until hot throughout before serving.
