Depending on the size of the potatoes, halve or quarter them (you don't want the pieces too big OR too small).
2.
Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
3.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
4.
Drain the potatoes (do not rinse), transfer to a baking sheet and let cool 6 to 8 minutes. Salt and pepper according to taste as they are cooling so the flavor can soak into the potatoes.
PREPARING THE EGG
5.
Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water.
6.
Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover and let stand 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool; peel and halve.
PREPARING THE GREEN BEANS
7.
Trim each end place in a medium pan.
8.
Fill with enough water to just cover the green beans and add a pinch or two of salt.
9.
Bring the green beans to a boil and boil for 2-3 minutes.

12.
Top with pea shoots and 2 egg halves and serve.
