Ingredients
- 9 ounces baby potatoes washed
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion medium, chopped
- 7 ounces green beans trimmed, cut in half
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Halve the potatoes and place them in a large pot.
- Fill with water and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-high and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork tender for 7-8 minutes. Drain in a colander afterwards.
- Bring a large saute skillet to medium heat, drizzle with olive oil. Add the onions, green beans, drained boiled potatoes, ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper, thyme and paprika. Stir and cook covered, from 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to allow all sides of vegetables to brown.
- Serve with extra thyme leaves if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are sliced uniformly for even cooking. This will prevent some pieces from being undercooked while others are overcooked.
- Even Browning: To ensure even browning of the vegetables, arrange them in a single layer in the skillet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lead to uneven cooking and steaming instead of browning.
