Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat; sauté onion and garlic until just softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the green beans, broth, and ham hock. Add water until it just covers the beans.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat; simmer 35-45 minutes, or until the cooking liquid turns a deep greenish brown and beans are well-done.
After 20 minutes of simmering, add potatoes and the additional ham, if using. Remove ham hock or ham bone; chop ham off of the bone; return ham to the pot; discard the bone.
Strain the cooking liquid using a slotted spoon.
Season with black pepper, to taste.
Serve.
