Potatoes and green beans are such a delicious combination. It's a bit of a comfort food for me, I have great memories of my Grandma making this with her stovetop pressure cooker. I used a pressure cooker too, but an electric one. This tastes almost like Grandmas but of course without the added bacon she used. Instead of bacon, I like a bit of smoked paprika to add that smokey flavor I associate with this dish.
Ingredients
1/2 cup water
4 large precooked, and peeled yukon gold potatoes
3 cups of fresh green beans
1 med diced onion
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 T of low sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp of Smoked Paprika (important ingredient)
S&P to taste
I cook a big pot of potatoes in the pressure cooker so I have potatoes whenever I want them for various recipes, I put them in whole (med size potatoes) and cook for 15 min, natural release. This is one of the recipes I made with those.
Start the pressure cooker up on bean setting with the lid off, and add the water, put in the onions and garlic and cook for a few minutes while you chop the green beans. Add the green beans, and the rest of ingredients except for potatoes, and continue cooking with lid off for just a couple minutes. If you havent already peeled and chopped your potatoes, do that now. If most of your water has steamed away at this point add another 1/2 cup. Then simply add your potatoes, stir lightly, put lid on and bring up to pressure and cook on bean setting for 5 min. Manual release of pressure. I like my green beans really tender, if you prefer yours more on the crunchy side, reduce cooking time to 2-3 minutes.
This is a delicious side dish, and if you are doing a Potato Diet of any sort, it will definitely satisfy your hunger. This makes 2-3 portions. Enjoy!
