Notes

  • Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
  • You can use fresh or frozen green beans. You’d want to use about 1.5 pounds. I included a video in this recipe card that shows it being made with fresh green beans.
  • You can use baby gold potatoes and just cut them in half.
