Potato and Green Bean Skillet
Description
Potato and Green Bean Skillet starts with boiling halved baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, ensuring they are cooked through but still hold their shape. Bacon is cooked separately until crisp, and its rendered fat is used to sauté diced yellow onions until soft and golden. Frozen green beans are added to the skillet along with the potatoes, letting them cook together so the potatoes gain a bit of color and the beans warm through without losing their snap. Everything bagel seasoning adds a distinctive savory note that complements the smoky bacon and onions.
The finished dish pairs well as a side to grilled or roasted meats and can be served warm as a comforting, rustic vegetable medley. The blend of textures from soft potatoes and snap green beans with the crisp bacon bits creates a satisfying balance.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. baby potato $3.99
- 1 tsp salt $0.05, to salt the boiling water
- 4 oz. Bacon $1.15
- 1 yellow onion $0.37
- 12 oz. green beans $1.25, frozen, cut
- 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning $0.10
Instructions
- Slice the potatoes in half and place them in a large pot. Cover with water and add 1 tsp salt. Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and allow the potatoes to continue boiling until the are fork-tender (about 7-8 minutes). Drain the potatoes in a colander.
- While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it is brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet. For the most flavor, leave all of the bacon fat in the skillet, or drain off the excess making sure to leave at least 2 Tbsp of the fat in the skillet.
- While the bacon is cooking, dice the onion. After removing the bacon from the skillet, add the diced onion and continue to cook over medium heat until the onion is soft and slightly browned.
- Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Give them a brief stir to coat them in fat, then let them continue to cook, stirring only once every few minutes, to allow the bottoms to brown.
- Once the potatoes have some brown color on them, add the frozen green beans (no need to thaw). Continue to cook and stir until the green beans are heated through.
- Chop the cooked bacon and add it back to the skillet along with the everything bagel seasoning. Stir to combine, taste, and add salt, pepper, or more bagel seasoning to your liking. Serve hot!
