Instructions
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them in half. Put the potatoes into a big pot and cover with cold water, salt with 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.Cook the potatoes till they are tender soft. You will know they are ready when you can easily pierce the potato with a knife.
- Second, clean the green beans by cutting off the ends on both sides, wash them under cold water then cut them in half.
- Add them to a pot, cover with water and season with 2 teaspoons with salt.
- Bring the pot with beans to a boil. Once it boils, turn the heat down so the beans are simmering. for about 25-30 minutes
- MAKE THE GARLIC SAUCEWhile the potato and green beans are cooking, make the garlic cream sauce.Chop one onion into small cubes, sauté in a pan for 10 minutes in a medium low heat, or until the onions turn slightly golden.Add minced garlic to the onions and cook together just for a minute.
- Add 2 tablespoons of chicken gravy and 1 tablespoon of butter to the onion and sauté them together for two minutes.Then pour in 3/4 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the water from the potatoes. This will make the garlic sauce.
- Once the potatoes and green beans are tender, drain the water from both.Add the beans to the potatoes and pour over the garlic cream sauce then mix gently.
- Simmer the new potatoes in a garlic cream sauce for 3 minutes then turn the heat off. Add salt to taste. I added 1/2 a teaspoon of salt to mine.
