When it comes to transforming bland recipes into an authentic Michelin Star dish, you definitely have to take note of the advice of experts in the field: renowned chefs. Chef José Andrés, with two Michelin stars behind him, is a perfect example. He often shares super simple and useful tricks on his networks that do not require complicated processes or a lot of morning with the pans and the stove. Now he has decided to give a 180 degree turn to the famous potatoes cooked with green beans so that they do not taste bland. The best thing? That it only requires this spice that you have in the kitchen.
I have always been one to add a little ham to the green beans to brighten up the dish a little. Well, it turns out that the key was not only in that, but in a spice: La Vera paprika. And it is the simplest recipe that you can make in a short time, super economical and very comforting. We give you the step by step and the definitive list of ingredients so that you can achieve chef-like results from your home kitchen.

The step by step to achieve a chef's result
We start by washing the green beans and cutting the ends, as well as removing the side strands. Then we cut them into small pieces, about three centimeters or so. We continue peeling the potatoes and cutting them into quite small cubes so that they take little time to cook. Then we can cut some ham into strips or opt for the containers of ham cubes that are already prepared to consume.
We continue with our recipe by adding water to a saucepan and putting the potatoes to cook. Then we add a pinch of salt and let them cook well for about 16 minutes. Halfway through cooking we add the green beans. It is important not to remove the water from the pot because later we are going to use it when plating, adding a couple of tablespoons to a soup bowl. We put the potatoes with beans and the ham on top and give the final and infallible touch with a little parsley and La Vera paprika. You would be ready to enjoy!
