Slow Cooker Amish Potatoes and Green Beans
A simple Amish-style slow cooker side dish made with tender yellow potatoes, fresh green beans, smoky pork, and savory chicken broth. This hearty, old-fashioned recipe is comforting, budget-friendly, and perfect alongside roasted meats or as a rustic one-pot meal.
Ingredients
- 2 lb small yellow potatoes scrubbed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed, halved or left whole
- 12 oz smoked pork hocks, shoulder, or thick bacon
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or enough to mostly cover vegetables
Instructions
- Place the potato chunks in the bottom of a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker and spread them into an even layer.
- Add the trimmed green beans over the potatoes.
- Arrange the smoked pork over the green beans, spacing it out evenly.
- Pour the chicken broth over everything, using enough to mostly cover the vegetables without fully submerging them.
- Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours, or on high for 3 1/2–4 hours.
- Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are soft but not falling apart.
- Taste the broth and a potato, then season lightly with salt and black pepper if needed.
- Stir gently from the bottom to coat the potatoes and green beans with the smoky broth and meat.
- Serve warm.
Notes
Smoked pork usually seasons the dish well on its own, so add salt only at the end. Stir gently to avoid breaking up the tender potatoes.
