Steps

1. 1Slice the potatoes into fries and boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes.

3. 3Clean the mussels and discard any that are already open.
4. 4Finely chop the garlic and slice the shallots.
5. 5Heat a pan on medium-high heat and add the butter along with the olive oil.
6. 6Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and stir for a minute. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
7. 7Add the mussels, stir well, pour in the white wine, and stir again. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
8. 8Remove the lid; the mussels should have opened and are cooked. Garnish with the parsley.
