Cooking Mussels
1. Prepare the Mussels
Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells to remove any debris. Remove any beards and discard any mussels that are open and do not close when tapped.
2. Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Steam the Mussels
Add the rinsed mussels to the pot along with the white wine and saffron threads. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels have opened.
4. Finish with Cream
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Making Pommes Frites
5. Prepare Potatoes
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into thin strips. Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
6. Fry Potatoes
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the potatoes and dry them thoroughly. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.
