12. Cooks note* If you dont like your ham cooked anymore than it already is in the package then don't add it until the beans and potatoes are done then set to pressure cook for 3 minutes with the beans and potatoes after all a smoked ham is already cooked.

I used fresh, seasonal green beans and red potatoes from the farm, and chicken stock and seasonings.

We soaked up the pot likker as we smooshed the potatoes and wiped up the rest with cornbread.

Wash the potatoes and if they are really small, just peel a strip right around the center.

If they are little bigger, like mine were, halve them or Sprinkle the potatoes with a little salt and pepper.

It's important to not overcook the green beans.
