Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Peel and weigh the potatoes, then dice them. Peel and dice the onion. Cut the beans into pieces about 3-5 cm long. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water, cover, bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot, add the diced onion, and fry over medium heat until golden brown. Stir in the beans, season with a little pepper and nutmeg, then pour in the vegetable stock. Add enough to just cover the beans. Slice the smoked pork and place it on top of the beans. Cover and cook until the beans are tender. Remove the smoked pork and dice it. Drain the liquid from the potatoes. Return the pot to the stove and let the potatoes steam off briefly, then mash them lightly with a potato masher. Drain the beans and reserve the stock. Add the diced potatoes to the beans and mash both together a few times with a potato masher. Stir in enough broth until everything is nice and creamy. Stir in the sour cream and parsley, then the smoked pork cubes. Heat the green beans and mixture briefly on the stovetop again, taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve.
