Bowl of mussels in creamy sauce with crispy fries on a wooden table. Perfect seafood dish for a tasty meal.

Truffle Mushroom Mussels & Fries

Some of my fondest childhood memories are from when I would visit my grandmother every summer in France. My family would go to Paris to eat mussels and fries by the Eiffel Tower. So I of course had to recreate it for my family! You've got fresh mussels and a deliciously creamy sauce, paired with some crispy bread and fries. It's a thing dreams are made of!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 lb of mussels preferably fresh but you can use frozen as well
  • 1.5 tbsp of Truffle Oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Avocado oil spray or any oil spray
  • 2 Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 medium size shallot
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion salt for potatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups of white mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken stock I used a chix stock cube diluted in water. This made it super flavorful. You can also use low sodium.
  • ¼ dry white wine
  • 4 cubes of garlic I used trader joes frozen cubes to make this dish super quick. You can also use 4 cloves of fresh garlic

Instructions
 

  • Wash and slice your potatoes. I'm using a mandolin to slice them thin (1/4 inch) so they are more like chips and really absorb the delicious sauce.

  • Stack your sliced potatoes and slice horizontally.
