Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Put them in the saucepan.

  2. Boil the potatoes

    Cover the potatoes with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15 min over medium heat.

    Tip · For tender potatoes, cut them into even pieces before putting them in the water.

  3. Prep the green beans

    Take the frozen green beans out of the freezer. Rinse them under cold water if needed.

  4. Cook the chops

    Heat the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chops and brown them 3 to 4 min per side. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Tip · Don't crowd the skillet with the chops, or they won't brown well. Cook them in two batches if needed.

  5. Cook the green beans

    In the same skillet, add the green beans. Stir-fry them 3 to 4 min over medium heat.

  6. Drain the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes in the colander. Put them back in the saucepan over low heat to dry for 1 min.

  7. Serve hot

    Divide the chops, potatoes and green beans among the plates.
