Trim your green beans and then wash them well. Set aside.
730 grams green beans
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté your onion and garlic, stirring constantly so that they do not burn. After a few moments (when your onion has just begun to get translucent), add the green beans to the pot. Stir well.
1 yellow onion, 1/2 cup olive oil, 3 garlic cloves
After stirring in the green beans, add to the pot the tomato juice or sauce, water, potatoes, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine.
1 cup tomato sauce or passata, 2 1/2 cups water, 3 potatoes, peeled, 1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Cover the pot and allow to cook over medium heat for approximately 50 – 60 minutes. Be sure to shake the contents of your pot every 15 minutes or so. You should also check your pot occasionally and give the contents a stir; there should always be liquid present in the pot. If there is not, add more water, 1/2 cup at a time.
Enjoy this meal with some bread, feta cheese and a side of some olives.

You can also use frozen beans if you'd like. No need to thaw, keep frozen until ready to use.
