- 1/2 lb boiling potatoes, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 lb green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup arugula, tough stems discarded and leaves coarsely chopped
-
Put potatoes in a small saucepan with 1 Tbsp salt and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then simmer until just cooked through, about 7 minutes. Drain.
-
Cook green beans in a 1 1/2- to 2-qt saucepan of boiling salted water (1/2 Tbsp salt for 1 qt water) until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
-
Heat butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté potatoes until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in green beans and cook until just heated through. Add arugula and toss until just wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt.
