  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place potatoes and green beans into a large pot. Pour enough water over potatoes and green beans just to cover and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender
  2. about 20 minutes.
  3. Place bacon in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until evenly browned
  4. about 10 minutes. Stir flour into bacon until flour forms a paste
  5. 2 to 3 minutes. Mix bacon mixture into potato mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thickened
