Garlic green beans with fried potatoes
Garlic green beans with fried potatoes and fresh sausage is such a simple Dutch main dish that becomes delicious just by pan cooking. The green beans remain fresh and firm, the potatoes get crispy edges, and the garlic adds just enough kick. With juicy fresh sausage on the side, this is a plate that needs little explanation.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 400 g fresh sausage
- 600 g potatoes
- 250 g green beans
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- salt (to taste)
Instructions
Preparation
- Peel and finely chop 3 cloves garlic. Cut off the tips of 250 g green beans, remove any strings along the sides, and cut them into pieces of about 2 cm. Peel 600 g potatoes and cut them into slices about half a centimeter thick.
Cooking
- Cook the green beans in water with salt for 6 to 8 minutes until al dente. Cook the potato slices in another pan for 8 to 10 minutes, until just tender but not falling apart. Drain both well and let them steam off for a moment.
- Fry 400 g fresh sausage in a frying pan over low to medium heat for 18 to 20 minutes, cooking slowly until brown. Turn regularly so the sausage does not burst and stays nice and juicy.
- Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan. Sauté the garlic briefly over medium-high heat until fragrant, but do not let it brown. Add the green beans and fry them for 3 minutes. Stir in the potato slices and cook everything for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the potatoes turn golden and the beans shine nicely.
To serve
- Serve the garlic green beans with fried potatoes and fresh sausage immediately, with the sausage next to or on top of the vegetables and potatoes. Optionally, add a little extra salt for those who like it.
Notes
Let the potatoes drain well after cooking before putting them in the pan. This way they brown faster and you get less moisture with the green beans.
