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.
