Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until a paring knife slides through without resistance, about 12–15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer the potatoes to a plate and let them cool slightly — keep the water at a boil.

Add the green beans to the same boiling water and cook until bright green and just tender with a slight snap, about 3–4 minutes. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then drain and pat dry.
