Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed (or 2 cans drained)
  • 1 lb baby red or gold potatoes quartered
  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or bacon drippings
  • 1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Boil the Potatoes:
  1. In a large pot, boil potatoes in salted water for 10–12 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Bacon:
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.
Sauté Green Beans:
  1. In the same skillet, add green beans and a splash of olive oil if needed. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
Combine Everything:
  1. Add the cooked potatoes and bacon back to the skillet. Sprinkle in the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Heat Through:
  1. Cook for 2–3 more minutes, stirring gently until everything is warmed and lightly crisped.
Serve:
  1. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

You can use frozen green beans (thawed) if fresh ones aren't available.
For more flavor, double the ranch seasoning or add a splash of lemon juice at the end.
To make it vegetarian, omit the bacon and use butter or oil instead.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
