Method
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp (30 mL) oil and ½ tsp (2 mL) salt. Arrange on parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake, turning fries over once, 25 to 30 min. or until golden brown and tender.

Add mussels, wine and remaining salt. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and steam mussels 5 to 8 min., or until mussels open. Discard any that do not open.
- Step 4
- Serve mussels and fries with 2 tbsp (30 mL) avocado aioli per serving. (Keep remaining aioli refrigerated for another use).
Tips
To make sure to cook only live mussels, do the "tap test": Firmly tap shells on chopping board or counter and discard any that don’t close.
