Green Bean Potato Salad

Green Bean Potato Salad
Meet the Cook: I have a taste for beans and find them a great companion to potatoes. A versatile side dish - add ham to make the salad a meal in itself - this one's among the recipes that I've invented myself. I have three children, all grown. -Bea Vrsalijko, Belle Chasse, Louisiana
