I made a few changes to this recipe to reduce the amount of fat as well as reducing the quantity of potatoes, bacon and onions. The bacon was cooked until crisp and drained. I used 1 onion which was cooked in the pan that was flavored with the bacon. The amount of potatoes was reduced by half and since I used white rose potatoes, I scrubbed them and left the peel on. The beans were rinsed and then steamed in the microwave. I added a sprinkling of salt and pepper before serving. With the changes I made I still had enough for 4 servings as a side. We enjoyed this dish with grilled salmon.

This is not the original recipe. This recipe is from my home town and I have had it hundreds of times. The original recipe involves cooking the bacon and deglazing the bacon grease with white wine vinegar to douse the dish with.

This was absolutely delicious. I boiled some tiny (unpeeled) new potatoes and the beans together until tender. I sauteed the onions and bacon together and when the bacon was cooked, but not crisp added the beans and sliced potatoes until heated through and coated with bacon grease. I just seasoned with a little salt and pepper and they were divine! I cut the recipe in half for my husband, my son, and me and wish I'd made the whole recipe. Do yourself a favor and make this recipe!! Thanks for posting Maite G.

Simple and tasty! I followed the previous reviewers and blanched the beans and sauteed the onion in the bacon drippings. Yum! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT 4.

The only change I made was to saute the onions in the bacon grease (left over from frying the backon crisp) instead of butter. I used red potatoes and left some of the skin on. This was absolutely delicious, and enjoyed by all.
