Moules Frites (mussels with fries) originated in Belgium but given the proximity and the inevitable blending of cultures, the dish quickly found its way to France. Any steamed mussels recipe work here as long as they are served with a healthy portion of preferably hand-cut and homemade fries. I made Mussels à la Normande, which are steamed mussels in a creamy apple cider-based broth with crème fraîche. For the crispiest fries, I used russet potatoes and fried them using the double-fry method.
