Instructions

1.	Trim the stalk ends from the green beans, then cook them in boiling salted water for about 3 minutes, until they are tender but still have a little bite. Drain and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking.

3.	Cut the bacon into narrow strips. Heat the butter in a frying pan and fry the bacon until it is crisp.
4.	Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vinegar. Return to the heat and bubble for a few seconds.
5.	Add the green beans, potatoes and bacon to a large mixing bowl.
6.	Sprinkle with parsley and spring onions. Toss all the ingredients together until they are well mixed. Transfer to a serving dish and serve at room temperature.
