I love this combination and I agree that potato salads made with vinegar and oil are preferable to mayo based salad when you are going to a picnic or barbecue. The addition of green beans and tomatoes makes such a pretty presentation. I will be making this this summer. Thanks Madonna.
I love that it makes a full meal served with a little protein of choice. And, yes vinegar and oil is always better for a potluck or outing. Thanks for stopping by Penny.
Potatoes and green beans so often share the same plate, so why not just combine them in a dish? I just learned a new one a couple of weeks ago that is fun — basically a combo of Southern long-braised green beans with bacon, mixed with mashed potatoes. Anyway, this is much easier and looks even tastier. Good stuff — thanks.
Potatoes and Green Beans one of my favorite combinations, this looks delicious! Hope you have a very special Fathers Day Weekend and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I had to smile, the first time I had this was at my mother-in-laws as well. The only difference is that hers was Italian style with garlic and oregano added. Love this side!
I’ve actually never had this – not even at my mother-in-laws house 🙂 It sounds wonderful, Madonna and I love Karens version with garlic and oregano too!
Sounds like a great side dish for a summer meal, Madonna. I’m going to try it soon, as I have everything that is needed. I’m glad that your MIL was won over by you and fiercely defended you. We all need those kinds of people in our lives.

Perfect summer patio meal–just add grilled meat. Or maybe even just a platter of cheese and charcuterie. Well done, Ms. Lemon!
Wini Moranville says
Oops: Meant to say “patio” meal–feel free to correct!
Ms. Lemon says
Wini, I fixed it. I have done the same thing so many times.
Ms. Lemon says
Wini, I ended up just eating the last of it just as a salad – nothing else, and it was satisfying.

I have not heard of the mashed potato version, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a little crispy bacon crumbled in.
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Chris Scheuer says
Sounds so good and so simple. Those are often the best recipes!
Ms. Lemon says
Good and simple, my favorite. 🙂

Ms. Lemon says
Okay, the next time I make this I will be using garlic and oregano. That sounds delicious.
Sheryl says
This looks delicious. I can hardly wait until we have new thin-skinned potatoes here. Maybe they’ll be at the farmer’s market in a couple of weeks.
Susan says

Ms. Lemon says
Susan, I am going to try Karen’s version too. I really like that it is not fussy, yet it looks pretty on the plate.
Thanks for stopping by, I love hearing from good cooks. 🙂

Ms. Lemon says
She was a tough one Kitty, but eventually I won her over. She taught me so much.
If you have a garden there is nothing better than fresh picked beans and potatoes.
Hope all is well at your house.:)
Mistie says
Yum, looks delicious!
