New Potatoes and Green Beans

3 lbs Small Red Potatoes

2 tsp Salt
2 lbs Fresh Green Beans, ends trimmed and snapped into 1 inch pieces.
3 Cloves Garlic, chopped finely
1 Stick Butter


Bring large pot of water to full rolling boil, add salt, then potatoes.  Cook about 15 minutes until potatoes are fork tender, but skin is still firm and doesn't peel away.  Remove potatoes and place in large serving bowl.  Return water to full boil and add green beans.  Cook 3-5 minutes, strain and combine with potatoes.


Meanwhile, in a small pot melt butter and remove from heat.  Stir in garlic and toss with potatoes and green beans.  If desired, add salt and pepper to taste.
