This isn't much of a recipe, but it is one of my favorite things to eat this time of year. This is a very flexible and forgiving dish as long as you don't overcook it. I use more green beans than potatoes, and much more veggies than bacon. I use turkey bacon so there isn't much bacon grease left. If you use real bacon you might want to pour out some of the grease before adding anything to it. We'll eat this by itself for lunch. The bacon encourages Max to eat lots of green beans!
Ingredients:
fresh green beans
new red potatoes
bacon
red wine vinegar
salt
Cut potatoes into large bite size pieces and steam.
While potatoes are steaming, cook bacon in large pan. Crisper is better. When the bacon is done, tear into small pieces. Leave leftover bacon grease in pan.
When the potatoes are almost tender throw in the green beans. Steam till potatoes are tender and green beans are cooked, but still crisp.
Heat bacon pan over medium-low heat. Add some vinegar to deglaze pan. Add potatoes and green beans, toss, and salt to taste. Be sure to salt before adding bacon. Add bacon pieces and another splash of vinegar and enjoy.
