Fresh Green Beans, Cajun Style

1 ½ # green beans, strung & snapped
1 med. Onion, diced
salt & pepper
new potatoes, optional
1 clove garlic, chop fine
½ # bacon, cut in pieces
1 c. or more water
Hot cooked rice

Cook bacon, keep all the fat-that is what makes the dish. Some can be removed later. Sauté onions till yellow, add beans dripping wet from being washed & sauté till starting to brown. Add water, garlic, salt & pepper. Cook about 1-hr. Add potatoes & cook till they are tender, serve on rice. When cooked like this, it sure is good!
