How To Make Green Bean Potato Salad

1. Start by washing the beans and potatoes. Then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. In the large pot, bring some water to a boil. Season the water with a bit of salt and toss in your potatoes. Cook them until they’re soft but not mushy, for about 10-15 minutes.
3. While the potatoes are getting cooked, blanch your beans in another pot for about 3-5 minutes. They should be brilliantly green and still crunchy.
4. After the potatoes and beans have been cooked, drain them in the colander and let them cool.
5. Saute your garlic and onions in olive oil until they’re soft and fragrant.
6. In a large bowl, mix your potatoes, beans, and sauteed onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, toss them together, and you’re done.
