Great Green Beans And Perfect Potatoes Recipe ( Ww 3 Pts ) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

water, to cover both the potatoes and beans
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar (don't skip even on a diet, it really makes the difference)
1 lb very small red potato, washed well, skins on
1 lb fresh green beans, stem ends snapped off, broken in half
1 tablespoon garlic, in a jar, to taste or
2 -3 fresh garlic cloves, minced very tiny
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
additional salt

Preparation

Start the water, salt and sugar to a boil while prepping the potatoes.
Add the potatoes as soon as they're prepped, cover and let cook until nearly done. (Actual time will vary based on the size and density of the potatoes. The tiny potatoes took only about 20 minutes, others longer.)
Add the beans, return to a boil and cook for about 7 minutes or until the beans are well-cooked but still bright green.
Drain.
Return to the hot pot and toss with garlic and butter. Add salt if needed.
