Liege Salad image

Belgian Name = Salade Liegoise While browsing recipes for Zaar World Tour II, I've been amazed to find that what I consider everyday Texas fare is actually considered international food. This is yet another example of a dish I've eaten for years without knowing of it's Belgian origin.

4 medium potatoes
1 lb fresh green beans
salt
1 tablespoon butter
5 slices lean smoked bacon, diced
