Haricots à l’Ancienne aux Pommes de Terre
This is one of those simple French vegetable combinations that just taste really good, especially for Friday night dinner, next to a well-roasted chicken. Although it has become popular to cook green beans for a short time, I still prefer them when they are meltingly tender!

Yield
4 to 6 servings

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Heat the vegetable oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Add the onion, and sauté until soft and golden. Add the green beans to the frying pan, stir to coat with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Toss in the potatoes, and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the beans are very tender.
