Chop potatoes, peel and shop onions, cut sausage into finger width slices

In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, cook sausage until browned on both sides. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.

Add onion and some of the juice from the beans. Sauté until onion is softened, scrapping up browned bits on bottom and sides of pan.

Add potatoes, green beans including juice, 2 tablespoons butter, and ¾ cup water.

Cook 15 - 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are fork tender.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Enjoy!
