Green Beans and Potatoes with Bacon


Instructions:

  1. Cook the Bacon:
    • In a large skillet or pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  2. Cook the Potatoes:
    • Add the quartered potatoes to the pan with the bacon drippings. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender. If needed, add a little olive oil for extra cooking fat.
  3. Cook the Green Beans:
    • Add the green beans to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
  4. Add Garlic and Seasonings:
    • Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme (or rosemary), salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Combine and Garnish:
    • Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and mix everything together. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

This hearty dish is perfect as a side or even a main course. Enjoy! Let me know if you need adjustments or more details. 😊
