Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 1 pound new potatoes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices bacon
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Set aside.

Step 2

Scrub and rinse the new potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Dice the bacon into small pieces and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the green beans, potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are fully cooked.

Step 8

Stir in the butter and reserved bacon. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving. Serve warm as a hearty side dish.
