Southern Green Beans & Potatoes with Bacon

Southern Green Beans & Potatoes with Crispy Bacon | kristinschell.com

I’ve been somewhat of a slacker in the kitchen lately. Piddling here and there, creating small bites, but lacking in the full meal department. Husband notices these things.

It’s summer, I justify in my mind. I donwannacook. Ever feel that way?

Lucky for me, and triple lucky for Husband our CSA basket arrived yesterday with the most gorgeous burst of colorful produce straight from Tecolote Farm. Purple potatoes, crispy green beans, golden carrots, beets… a garden rainbow. Just the inspiration I needed.

Littlest and I got busy snapping the ends of the green beans and peeling purple potatoes. Ten minutes later the skillet was sizzling with bacon begging the garden fresh goodness to join. The classic southern combination of green beans and potatoes is so simple and satisfying.

Littlest is actually stirring the beans in the picture. . . and I spy a tiny bite of potato cooling to just the right temperature for my petit sous chef. Truthfully, I’m surprised she didn’t pull out the purple potato.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 pieces of bacon, chopped and fried until crispy
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 red onion, diced

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
