Greek Beans and Potatoes (Fasolakia)

This is another one from my yiayia!

It's a traditional greek dish, best served on its own with a sprinkle of feta (My favourite!!) 

Some people say Fasolikia and others say Fasolia but either way this easy greek bean and potato recipe is super delicious.

It's the perfect quick dinner idea and is also an amazing leftover for work lunches.

Plus, it's healthy! YAY!
