How this recipe came to be:
I wanted to recreate an appetizer recipe for green bean fries that we'd had at a local Irish pub.
Even though this recipe tastes nothing like what we'd had at that pub, I dare say that I like these better, and it's all because I used what I already had on hand in my pantry when I thought I had panko crumbs...but didn't!
As always, necessity is the mother of delicious invention! 🙂

Can this method and recipe be used for other vegetables?
Sure thing!
Try it on fresh asparagus, sugar snap peas, sliced onion strings, radish slices, quartered baby potatoes, or any other veggie you'd like to experiment with.
Just make sure that the vegetables you use are in small enough pieces that they won't take forever to cook, and so the instant potato flakes don't burn before the veggies are done.
