Ingredients

• 2 pounds mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.75 cups dry white wine
• 1 cups chicken or seafood broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mussels under cold water and inspect for any that are cracked or remain open after tapping gently; discard those.

Step 2

Dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and season them with salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to slightly soften.

Step 6

Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 7

Add the chicken or seafood broth to the pot. Cover and let the potatoes simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes or until tender.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are tender, add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Stir gently to combine, then cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, occasionally shaking the pot, until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that remain closed.

Step 9

Stir in the butter and chopped parsley, allowing the butter to melt into the broth.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Serve immediately in bowls, with a ladle of the flavorful broth and a wedge of lemon on the side for squeezing over the dish. Pair with crusty bread for soaking up the broth, if desired.
