Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds new potatoes
• 1 pound green beans
• 2 cups diced ham
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrition.

Step 2

Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them into 2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and melt the butter.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid browning.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced ham and sauté for 2-3 minutes to lightly brown and heat through.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 8

Add the new potatoes, ensuring they are mostly submerged in the broth. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 9

Add the green beans to the pot, stir well, and continue to simmer uncovered for another 8-10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still bright green.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot as a main course or side dish. This dish pairs beautifully with crusty bread or cornbread.
