🥔🫛 Sautéed Green Beans & Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed

Instructions

1. Par-cook the potatoes (important!)
   • Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 5–7 minutes until just fork-tender.
   • Drain well.
2. Sauté potatoes
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add potatoes in a single layer.
   • Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
3. Add green beans
   • Toss in green beans (and onion if using).
   • Cook 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
   • If needed, add 1–2 tbsp water and cover briefly to steam.
4. Finish
   • Add garlic in the last 1–2 minutes (so it doesn’t burn).
   • Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes or paprika.
   • Finish with a squeeze of lemon or sprinkle of fresh parsley.
