Butter-Laced Golden Potatoes with Crisp Green Beans

In a large non-stick pan, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil over medium heat. This should take about 2 minutes.

Add the halved baby potatoes to the pan and cook for around 10 minutes until they start to turn a golden brown color. Make sure to stir occasionally to avoid burning.

To the golden potatoes, add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Saute for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Introduce the fresh green beans, Italian seasoning, ground black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the pan. Toss everything together and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the green beans are crisp yet tender and the potatoes are fully cooked but not mushy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
