Green Beans And Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb (750g) baby potatoes
• 1 lb (500g) green beans (ends trimmed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• lemon juice (to serve (optional))

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then add the halved potatoes.

2. 2

   I prefer par-boiling the potatoes before sautéing to speed up the process and cook them evenly.

3. 3

   Boil for 10 minutes then drain and set aside to dry while you preheat the pan.

4. 4

   Preheat a large frying pan over medium-high heat then add a few tablespoons of olive oil.

5. 5

   Add the drained potatoes and cook for a few minutes until they are golden brown on all sides.

6. 6

   Season with salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Add the green beans then sauté for 5-8 minutes, tossing regularly, until the green beans are al dente.

8. 8

   Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper then serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
