GOLDEN FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Generously cover the base of a roasting tray in oil. Add the Potato chips, season, and toss until coated. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crispy. At the halfway mark, gently shift the chips and drain any excess oil. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time.
GETTING STEAMY
Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onions and fry for 3-4 minutes until softened, shifting occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated Garlic and fry until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the white wine and bring up to a boil. Add the Mussels, cover and steam until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes (don’t worry, they are pre-cooked). Using a slotted spoon, remove the mussels from the pot. Reserve the onion mixture in the pot.
CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pot with the Onion mixture to a low heat. Add the crème fraîche, some Lemon zest, a knob of butter, the wholegrain mustard and 100ml of warm water. Stir to combine and simmer for 1-2 minutes, until a runny consistency. Add more water if necessary. Remove from the heat and season. Loosen the mayo with a squeeze of lemon juice.
TRUFFLE FRITES
Once the fries are done, top with the grated cheese, the truffle oil and some seasoning. Toss until fully combined.
FRENCH FINISH
Serve the Mussels in a bowl and pour over the sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Side with the cheesy truffle frites and the zingy mayo for dipping. Serve with a lemon wedge for some added zingyness. Stunning!
