In a medium size pot, boil the potatoes in salted water until they are soft.  When they are done, let them cool completely, then peel. The skin will come off very easily.

In a medium pot, boil the green beans for 2 minutes.  When the 2 minutes is up, immediately put the beans in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.  Drain.
In a bowl, combine the green beans, 1 clove garlic and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt.  Toss to combine.  I cut the green beans in smaller pieces, but you can leave them whole if you like.

Cut the potatoes into chunks and slice the red onion.  Add them to the green beans.  Add the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, parsley and salt.  Toss very well.  Taste for seasoning.  You may have to add a little more salt.   Enjoy.
