[Sincerely-Food-Chef]

Ingredients

• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 lb green beans
• 1 ½ lb sole fillets
• 4 medium yellow potatoes
• black pepper
• butter, unsalted
• salt

Instructions

1. Wash and dry the fresh produce.
   • 1 lb green beans
   • 4 medium yellow potatoes
2. Peel the potatoes, then halve lengthwise and crosswise; transfer the quarters to a small saucepan. Cover with hot water (from the tap) by about 1 inch and bring to a boil over high heat.
3. Trim and discard the ends of the green beans, then halve the green beans. Transfer to a medium bowl.
4. Once the water in the saucepan is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 8 to 12 minutes. Once done, reserve about 1 cup of liquid and drain the rest. Cover the saucepan to keep warm.
5. Add butter to a nonstick skillet and preheat over medium heat.
   • 1 tbsp butter, unsalted
6. Pat the sole dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.
   • 1 ½ lb sole fillets
   • 1 tsp salt
   • ½ tsp black pepper
7. Once the skillet is hot, add the sole; cook until it is cooked through and golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Once done, transfer to a plate.
8. Once the sole has been transferred, add the green beans to the skillet and pour in ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; once boiling, cook until bright green, 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Trim off and discard the root ends of the garlic; peel and mince or press the garlic.
   • 4 cloves garlic
10. Add the garlic, butter, salt, and pepper to the green beans. Cook until the water is fully evaporated, another 1 to 2 minutes.
    • 1 tbsp butter, unsalted
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
11. Add ½ of the reserved liquid, butter, salt, and pepper to the potatoes; mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add more liquid to thin out the mash if needed.
    • 2 tbsp butter, unsalted
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
12. To serve, divide the mashed potatoes, green beans, and sole between plates. Enjoy!
