String Bean and Potato Salad
1 lb. string beans
1 ½ lb. potatoes
½ medium red onion sliced thin
1 tsp. granulated garlic or two cloves of garlic minced very fine
½ cup olive oil
¼ lb. red or white vinegar (I used red)
1 teaspoon of oregano or 1 tablespoon of fresh oregano minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Boil potatoes in the skin. When the water boils, cook potatoes for around 20 minutes (depending on size) or until a fork goes through the potato easily. Peel the potatoes and let them cool.
Remove ends from string beans. Bring water to boil and put in string beans. Cook them for 5-7 minutes depending on how firm or soft you like them. Let them cool.
Cut cooked potatoes to about a one-inch size. Cut string beans in half. Mix potatoes and string beans together. Add red onion, garlic, oregano salt, and pepper. Mix together then add oil and vinegar. Mix well and put in the fridge to chill for at least two to three hours. You may eat it warm if you prefer, but I like my salad chilled overnight.
Enjoy!

I made this last month, we had it growing up too. Love it. Sometimes we had potatoes and the beans in a little red sauce. No meat, marinara…thanks.
New fan here just catching up on all your videos. May I ask what kind of wine you’re drinking? I’m still in search of a great red wine. Oh and yes love all your family stories. Please keep sharing.
Hedy how do I order your book? So happy your making more videos. I love cooking along with you and having a glass of wine as I do. I’m not Italian but I just love you stories and your personality.
I make this salad all the time but I had diced fresh tomatoes or cherry tonatoes & chopped basil. One of our favorite salads.
