Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash the steamers, mussels, and potatoes thoroughly. Trim the ends of the corn on the cob and cut them into halves if preferred. Set aside.

    In a large pot, fill it with water to about halfway. Add salt and Old Bay seasoning to the water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.

    Once the water is boiling, add the whole potatoes to the pot. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
