Simple yummy southern tasting side dish. Pole beans are larger than everyday green beans (Kentucky wonder is a favorite variety). Try to find tender beans that do not have a heavy string ; they will cook in the same amount of time as the potatoes. Ingredients:
2 lbs pole beans |
2 lbs small new potatoes |
1 smoked ham hock, about 1/2 pound |
1/3 cup water |
Directions:
1. String the beans.
2. Peel the potatoes or cut them in half.
3. Put the beans in the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
4. Add the potatoes, ham hock, and water.
5. Simmer, covered, until the potatoes are done, about 30 to 45 minutes.
