Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Liège-Style Potato and Green Bean Salad.
Step 1
Start by taking a large pot and adding your cubed potatoes, then cover them with water.
Step 2
Bring the pot to a boil and let the potatoes cook until they’re tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, grab another pot and fill it with water to boil for the green beans.
Step 4
Once that water is bubbling, toss in the green beans and let them cook for about 5 minutes until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Afterward, drain the green beans and set them aside for later.
Step 6
Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add your bacon.
Step 7
Cook it until it’s nice and crispy, then remove the bacon from the skillet and let it drain on some paper towels.
Step 8
In the same skillet, with all that delicious bacon drippings, add your sliced onions.
Step 9
Sauté them until they’re tender and beautifully browned, then take them out and set them aside as well.
Step 10
Now, it’s time to elevate the flavor of your dish! Pour balsamic vinegar into the skillet, making sure to scrape the bottom to release any tasty browned bits left behind.
Step 11
This step is key to creating a rich dressing that will tie everything together.
Step 12
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked potatoes, green beans, sautéed onions, and crumbled bacon.
Step 13
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the top and gently toss everything together, ensuring each ingredient is coated in that flavorful dressing.
Step 14
Finally, season your salad with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste.
Step 15
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings together the heartiness of potatoes, the crispness of green beans, and the savory goodness of bacon, all enhanced by the tangy balsamic dressing!.
