Ingredients
Kosher salt
1/3 pound thin green beans, trimmed and cut into thirds
2 pounds small Yukon, white, or red skinned potatoes, quartered
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 to 4 slices smoky bacon, finely chopped
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1 small red Fresno chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped, optional
3 tablespoons cider or wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and blanch the beans for 3 to 4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, rinse, drain, and reserve. Add the potatoes to the water and bring back to a boil. Cook the potatoes until tender, about 12 minutes.
- When the potatoes are nearly done, add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to a small skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and crisp for 2 to 3 minutes, and then add the shallots and chile. Cook for 2 more minutes, and then stir in the vinegar, sugar, and stock.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot.
- Pour the bacon mixture over the potatoes and add the green beans, parsley, salt, pepper, 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, and stir to combine. Serve warm or cold.
