Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 6 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, coarsely grated

Directions

  1. Place potatoes in a large pot; cover with water by 1 inch, and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and cook until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. With a wire skimmer or slotted spoon, transfer potatoes to a large bowl (reserve water in pot).

  2. To the simmering water, add green beans, and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and add to potatoes, along with mayonnaise, vinegar, scallion, and carrot. Toss to combine, and lightly mash; season with salt and pepper, and serve warm.

    We love this recipe! My boyfriend does not care for cold potato salad but loves this warm veggie salad. It's delicious! I did add some extra vinegar to make it tangier though.

    Awesome. We loved the flavor...the scallion, especially, added a nice freshness. And, we loved the texture...the crunch of the green beans was a nice contrast to the lightly mashed potatoes. We will definitely make this side dish again.

    Sooo Good! I served it with BBQ babyback ribs and corn on the cob. Nice alternative to cold potato salad. Another great recipe from Everyday Food!

    So yummy and easy. It has a lot of color so it looks good with chicken or steak.
