Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes
Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes

I cooked these Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes in my Instant Pot and it literally took 15 minutes! I sautéed onion and bacon ends first, then I added my beans and potatoes, a little water along with seasonings, and set the pressure cooking time for 15 minutes! They were perfectly cooked! Oh, I forgot to mention that these potatoes were fresh from a garden. They were at our church grown by the youth group who are raising money for camp! There’s just something about some local grown new potatoes.

Country Style Fresh Green Beans and New Potatoes

I love green beans! Sometimes I make them crispy with lemon and garlic, but sometimes I want the country style like these, super tender in a delicious bacon flavored-broth, the kind I remember my Mom making growing up.

You can always find fresh green beans in the grocery store, probably year around. They are inexpensive and really have some health benefits. Check out the information in this link for some benefits of green beans. https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/vegetable/green-beans.html

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2-2 lbs fresh green beans, ends trimmed and washed
  • 4-6 new potatoes, depending on the size
  • 2-3 strips bacon, or bacon ends, cut in 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • fresh black pepper
  • 1-2 sprigs fresh thyme or about 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed
  • water or vegetable stock

Instructions
 

  • I cooked the green beans and new potatoes in my instant pot, but the same instructions apply if you are cooking them stovetop, except for the cooking time.
    Trim your beans and wash them. You can either completely peel your potatoes or you can cut a strip around like I did. If they are small, leave them whole, but large I'd half or quarter, so you have a uniform potato size so they will cook evenly.
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil to your pan or instant pot. Add the bacon and onions and sauté until the bacon fat has rendered and the onions begin to very lightly brown.
  • Add your beans and potatoes and enough water or vegetable stock to almost the top of the beans, maybe 3/4 way. They do not have to be completely covered because they are quickly going to cook down and you don't want too much liquid.
  • Add your salt and thyme, and set your Instant Pot to pressure cook for 15 minutes, or bring your stovetop pan to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes or so until the green beans and potatoes are tender.
  • When the cooking has finished, check for salt and add fresh cracked black pepper. Serve with almost any entrée. Enjoy these country style green beans.
