Warm Potato Salad with Green Beans Time: 30 minutes
4 - 5 potatoes, medium enough for 2 meals
8oz (250gr) green beans
1 large onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup beef stock
1/3 cup vinegar - cider or white wine
1 tbs cornstarch (corn flour, maizena) dissolved in 1 tbs water
Put a large saucepan, with a steamer basket inside and an inch of water, on the burner - medium -high heat. Slice potatoes - the long way, first in half, then in half again. Now slice (the short way) about 1/4 inch thick. We are aiming for bite size so if you have a huge potato, adjust accordingly. As you finish slicing add to the steamer basket. Top and tail beans and slice into 1 1/2" (4cm) pieces. Put on top of potatoes. Cover and cook for 10 - 15 minutes after water is boiling or until done. Stick a fork into a bean and a potato and taste to test. Remove from heat and set aside. In large nonstick skillet fry bacon, remove when crisp and pour off all but 1 tbs of fat. Add onions and celery, sauté until tender. Add stock, vinegar and bring to boil. Dissolve cornstarch in water and slowly stir into stock mixture stirring, boiling until thick. Add cooked potatoes and beans stir gently to combine. Add bacon, crumbled, and stir gently. Serve hot, warm or room temperature...lots of options.
