Cook the potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved or quartered potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside. 🥔💧
Cook the green beans: In the same pot, bring water back to a boil and cook the green beans for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Cook the bacon: While the veggies are cooking, fry the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove the bacon and crumble it. Keep 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet. 🥓🔥
Make the ranch butter: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch seasoning, and minced garlic. 🧈🧄🌿
Combine everything: In the skillet with the bacon grease, toss the cooked potatoes, green beans, and crumbled bacon. Pour the ranch butter over the top and gently toss to coat. 🥔🥒🥓
Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm. 🌿🍽️
Enjoy your savory, ranch-infused green beans and potatoes with crispy bacon! 😋🥔
