Trim the ends off the green beans and discard them. Then cut the bunch into pieces of equal size, according to your preference. Rinse them under fresh water and drain well. When the potatoes are boiling, add the cut green beans to the same pot, cover it, and let them cook until the potatoes are tender and the green beans appear bright green. Remove from heat and drain everything using a colander.

In another pot, bring the eggs to a boil. They should boil for about 10 minutes. Remove them from the heat, run them under cold water, peel them, and set them aside.

Cut the onion into very thin julienne strips.
