Last weekend I was in Michigan for 5 days and it just happened to be perfect timing for me to attend the First Annual Sandstrom Grill Off! My best friend, Tiff, just got married in June and I was lucky enough to be the maid of honor in her wedding. Her husband is a great guy and this grill off was EXACTLY what I needed for a mid-August visit home.
While most everyone had a recipe they were grilling in the competition, I decided to play it safe and bring sides. I brought these Vanilla No Bake Cookies and I whipped up some roasted potatoes in the oven just before we drove over.
Potato Green Bean Bake Ingredients:
3 lbs. of red skin potatoes – chopped
8 oz. green beans
8 slices of bacon
Vegetable oil
Salt
Pepper
Any of your other favorite spices
Start by pre-heating your oven to 375-degrees while you trim your green beans. Just use your fingers to snap off the ends that still have part of the plant on them. Then, give them a good rinse in cold water.
Next, chop your potatoes into 1″ cubes.
Spread the potatoes and green beans evenly into a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Use enough oil to toss everything around and get it well coated.
Sprinkle on the salt, pepper and your favorite seasonings. For this, I used Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper and Extra Spicy seasoning mixes.
Bake for 30 minutes and then use a spatula to toss them around and bake for another 10 minutes, until they’re nice and crispy.
While your potatoes are roasting, crisp up the bacon and then set it aside and let it cool.
Once you pull the potatoes out of the oven, crumble the cooled bacon on top of everything.
Transfer it all to your favorite serving dish and bring to your next BBQ!
I actually heated mine back up at Tiff’s in a 300-degree oven with someone’s bbq concoction for about 15 minutes and they were good to serve up!
