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! 🙂
The step-by-step photo instructions:
For making green bean fries:
- Wash and trim 2 pounds of green beans. Shake dry. Add to a large bowl.
- Whisk two eggs, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs to the prepared green beans, and stir well to coat.
- Season the beans with additional salt and pepper, and stir well. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 425-degrees F (220 C)
- Add the instant potato flakes, everything seasoning, and cayenne pepper to a medium bowl. Stir well to mix.
- Pour the potato flake mixture over the prepared green beans and toss well to coat the beans in the potato flakes.
- Lay the coated beans in an even layer onto two baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or foil (optional), and sprinkle additional potato flakes (from the bottom of the bowl) onto the beans, if desired.
- Roast the beans for 12 minutes in the 425-degree oven. Rotate the baking sheets, and roast again for an additional 12 minutes (24 minutes total).
- Remove the beans from the oven and cool slightly before serving along with the orange dipping sauce.
For making the orange dipping sauce:
- Stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and orange zest in a medium bowl.
- Chill until ready to serve along with the warm, everything green bean fries.

Can this potato flake coating method work 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.
