Green Bean Potato Salad

Like I have previously mentioned, my husband loves pasta salad, but recently I started thinking about potato salad. Potatoes are said to be better for you than pasta mainly because they have less carbs and more nutrients. So I decided to make a potato salad, a healthy one that is! Omit the eggs and mayo and you can get something filling, nutritious and satisfying! It will be all the rage this summer at the family BBQs.

Scrub potatoes under hot water and pat dry
If you prefer peeled potatoes, simply peel them now
Cube the potatoes and rinse well
Set to the side
Now slice your garlic lengthwise and then smash with the side of your knife
In your hot pot heat up your oil on medium high
When the oil is shimmering and easy to move around the pot toss in the garlic
Sautee until garlic becomes very aromatic, about 5 minutes
Add in the potatoes and cook until browned
Once the potatoes are browned strain and rinse the greens beans and add to the bottom
Mix around for a few more minutes until the green beans are warmed
Add in milk and stir
Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer
Put on lid and let simmer for 10 minutes or until milk thickens and is absorbed
When the milk is ready to go add water and spices and leave on a low boil for 30 minutes, stirring occasional
