Preparing an Easter menu and in need of a side dish?…

Roasted potatoes and haricots verts is a wonderful accompaniment for ham, salmon, chicken or beef.  The combination of crispy potatoes and tender beans with rosemary is delicious and simple to prepare for a large or a small gathering with friends and family.

Haricot verts {ah-ree-koh VEHR}  are French green beans.  They are stringless slender green beans and widely cultivated in France.  They are available in most grocery stores and other specially stores {Whole Foods Market & Trader Joe’s}.  This is my favorite beans to use in cooking year-round.
