Instructions
- 1
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by 2 inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until a paring knife slides through the center with no resistance, about 12–15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a cutting board; 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 with the slotted spoon to a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool to the touch. Set aside.
