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