Southern Green Beans and Potatoes

Green Beans and Potatoes

These Southern Green Beans and Potatoes are the perfect combination of flavors. Green beans and potatoes are cooked until tender in a flavorful broth. Have them on the side of your favorite Southern entree.

How to make Green Beans and Potatoes

First, gather all your ingredients. Make sure you trim your green beans and wash your produce.

Then in a heavy-bottomed pot, add bacon pieces and sauté over medium heat until the bacon starts to cook and curl, about 5 minutes.

Then add chopped onion and sauté until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Add the trimmed green beans, chicken broth, and butter to the pot and stir. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cooked covered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut bacon chopped
1 yellow onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 lb green beans trimmed
3 Tablespoon unsalted butter
1.5 cups chicken broth
½ lb red potatoes cut into 4ths
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Add bacon pieces in a heavy bottomed pot and sauté over medium heat until the bacon starts to cook and curl, about 5 minutes.
Then add chopped onion and sauté until the onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the trimmed green beans, chicken broth, and butter to the pot and stir. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cooked covered for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 20 minutes, add the cut red potatoes and stir. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes, until the red potatoes and green beans have softened.
Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
The red potatoes can be left out if preferred. Keep the cooking time the same.
For the pressure cooker version of this recipe, I recommended reducing the amount of broth to 1 cup. Then simply add the ingredients to your Instant Pot and cook for 9 minutes under high pressure. Once finished, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes and then quickly release any remaining pressure.
