Ingredients

2 pounds Mussels
1 pound Frites
1 large Onion
3 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Butter
1 cup White wine
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1/4 cup Parsley

Method

Rinse the mussels under cold running water, then scrub and debeard them, removing any broken or open shells.
Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat, about 2 minutes, until melted and foamy, then add onion and garlic and cook stirring occasionally until softened, 6-8 minutes.
Add the white wine, lemon juice, and mussels to the pot, then cover with a lid and cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until the mussels are open and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
While the mussels are cooking, heat the frites in a deep fryer or a large pot with at least 3-4 inches of oil to 350°F, about 5-7 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
Remove the frites from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, then season with salt to taste.
Serve the mussels with the frites, garnished with parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice, then discard any unopened mussels.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients, if necessary, to ensure all the mussels are cooked and the frites are crispy.
