Lemon Pepper Green Beans and Potatoes

Lemon Pepper Green Beans and Potatoes are surprisingly easy to put together. I love this easy recipe because I steam the beans and the potatoes separately in the microwave at the same time I’m making the sauce. Then all I need to do is toss it all together gently and it is ready to serve. My mom showed me these really neat Steam Cooking BagsLemon Pepper Green Beans and Potatoes is a fresh and easy side dish for perfect dinner and entertaining.

Just a few tips:

  • At my local walmart I can purchase Marketside green beans. These come in their own steam bag. Follow the directions on the bag and they will be ready quickly.
  • I used baby dutch yellow potatoes. Any small potato will work. Make sure they can be easily pierced with a fork before adding them to the other ingredients.
  • Unless I’m lazy cutting the potatoes into fourths will season the potatoes better then if leaving them whole. It is an extra step but my girls requested this step because they wanted more flavor.
  • Watch the almonds closely. They can burn quickly.
