Add to the bowl.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Cut the green beans into short lengths...

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.

..and add to the bowl.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 4 min.

Once the potatoes are cooked, peel them.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 2 min.

Slice and add to the bowl.

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

Add 5 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and your "grandma's" salad is ready.

Remarks

It's important to try and make this a warm salad, with both the beans and potatoes still warm from cooking, served without delay.

If you don't have Comté cheese, any other hard-paste cheese you like will do fine.

Keeping: Best eaten immediately but will keep in the fridge for later.
