Notes

Fresh is best, but yes you can use canned or defrosted frozen green beans if you want.
There is a lot of flavor in andouille and epis already so you will not need to go heavy on the spices, especially salt. 
The fresh ingredients in the epis work well with fresh beans
Make more epis than you need for this recipe as it’s so good you’ll find ways to use it in other dishes.
Smoked ham hocks or smoked turkey work great as alternates to andouille sausage as well as other sausages you may like
After trimming the green beans cut them in half. Smaller parts cook faster. Similarly cut the potatoes on the smaller side. I start with smaller new potatoes and halve them.
