Summer Vegetable SuccotashAnna Williams

You may be curious about why we chose to include edamame (fresh soybeans), which are often associated with Asian cuisine, in this all-American succotash recipe. Soybeans are actually a patriotic legume: They're the second largest crop produced in this country.

Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 1 hr

Cooks' notes:

• If you can only find edamame in the pod, you'll need to buy a 1-pound bag and shell them. • Potatoes and edamame can be boiled (but not sautéed) 1 day ahead. Cool, then chill, covered.
