How to Make Country Style Green Beans With Red Potatoes

Place 1-pound smoked ham hock and 1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped, into a 4-quart Dutch oven. Add 2 cups of water.
Season the water generously with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the ham hock meat is easily removed from the bone.
Remove the ham hock from the pot. Discard the bone and carefully remove and discard the skin.
Shred the ham hock meat and return it to the pot.
Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add 1 pound of small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large, to the Dutch oven.
Continue to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and the green beans are tender-crisp. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
