Southern Green Beans And Potatoes Recipes

SOUTHERN GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender, about 3 minutes.
• Add stock, salt, and potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a steady simmer. Simmer 10 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender enough to be pierced with a fork but still firm.
• Add green beans, cover, and simmer until very tender, about 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the potatoes and green beans to a serving dish. Bring the liquid to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Spoon over the vegetables, and gently fold to mix. Serve hot.

• Place the chopped bacon in a skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate.

Sprinkle with vinegar, salt, and pepper, and serve.

OLD SOUTH GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• In pot cover green beans with water and boil till tender with potatoes and bacon (or ham hock); drain.
• Add your favorite seasoning (I like butter, salt, and pepper).
• Remember ham hocks take a little longer than green beans, so if you use a ham hock, boil it first till tender then add the rest and cook. I personally never use ham hock due to fat content--I usually just use the bacon strips. I only listed it here as it was in the old south recipe.

SOUTHERN-STYLE GREEN BEANS AND RED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat a medium-sized cast-iron skillet on low to medium heat before adding thickly sliced pieces of hickory smoked bacon, cook slowly until the bacon has browned and become crisp. Do not overcook the bacon.
• Place the bacon on baker's rack to drain excess bacon grease and keep the crispiness of the bacon.
• Drain most of the bacon grease from the cast iron skillet and place it on medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the cast-iron skillet from the heat.
• Place 6 cups of fresh clean, tips removed, sliced green beans in a Dutch oven, and 2 slices of the reserved raw bacon. Add the cut-up bite-sized red-skinned potatoes, cover with about 4 cups of chicken stock or more if needed.
• Add 1 tablespoon of bacon grease or unsalted butter, season the green beans and potato mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black peppercorns to your own taste.
• Place the dutch oven on low-medium heat and slowly cook until the potatoes and green beans are tender; about 45-50 minutes.
• Chop the 6 slices of crisp bacon and reserve until ready to serve.
• Once the Southern-Style Green Beans and Red Potatoes are tender, remove them from heat, place them in a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with chopped bacon.
