Description
A rustic and hearty side dish featuring crispy golden potatoes and tender green beans sautéed with onions, garlic, and savory seasoning for a comforting classic.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 8 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the blanched potatoes to the skillet, cut side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring to develop a golden, crispy crust.
- Flip the potatoes and add the green beans to the skillet. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp and the potatoes are evenly browned.
- Stir in the butter until melted and everything is well coated.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For added flavor, toss in a dash of lemon juice or grated lemon zest before serving.
- To make it vegan, replace butter with a vegan alternative.
- Adjust seasonings like smoked paprika, salt, or pepper to your preference.
