Step 1
Fill a large bowl with iced water. Line a baking sheet with a dish towel.
Step 2
Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. Add green beans to the boiling water; blanch for just 1 minute. Drain potatoes and green beans; transfer to bowl of iced water to stop cooking process, about 5 minutes. Remove from iced water with a slotted spoon and place on prepared baking sheet to dry. Cut potatoes into quarters.

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
