Green Beans and Potatoes is an old southern recipe from Mississippi. It’s a super great recipe that goes well with any meal!!!
You can delete the bacon or ham hock and they still taste good.
Something about cooking the beans and potatoes together. Green beans add a special taste to potatoes and I love it.

-
