A delightful twist on a classic dish, combining tender green beans, crispy bacon, and soft potatoes for a comforting side dish.
Prepare the green beans by trimming the ends and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
Wash and halve the baby potatoes.
Cut the potatoes into even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the green beans and potatoes. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water to enhance the vegetables' flavor.
In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble the bacon, reserving 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the skillet.
Cook the bacon slowly to render out the fat and achieve a crispy texture.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic in the reserved bacon drippings until fragrant and translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the cooked green beans and potatoes to the skillet. Toss to coat with the onion and garlic mixture.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and top with the crumbled bacon. Serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
