Instructions

1. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.
2. Blanch the fresh green beans in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain and set aside.
3. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and crumble once cooled.
4. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion in the leftover bacon grease until soft and fragrant.
5. Add a little oil and butter to the skillet, then add the boiled potatoes and cook until they develop a crispy golden crust.
6. Stir in the blanched green beans, ranch seasoning mix, and a pinch of black pepper, mixing everything well.
7. Cook for a few more minutes until the green beans are heated through and well-coated with seasoning.

Notes

Let the bacon grease add depth by sautéing the onions until they turn golden and fragrant before mixing in the other ingredients.

For extra crispiness, allow the potatoes to brown in the skillet without stirring too often, helping them develop a delicious texture.

Customize the dish by trying different meats like ham or sausage, or adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese for a richer flavor.
