   In a medium pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the 3 bacon slices, cut into one-inch pieces, and cook for a couple of minutes until they start to crisp.

   Stir in the finely chopped medium white onion, 1 teaspoon thyme, and 2 teaspoons parsley. Continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.

   Simmer Beans and Potatoes

   Add the fresh green beans and the 5 new potatoes, quartered, to the pot. Cover the vegetables with water, then increase the heat until the water comes to a boil. Once you see a small boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans and potatoes are tender.
