Set the air fryer to medium heat for the fries.

Cook the fries for about 7-9 minutes, depending on your preference for doneness.

Melt 1 stick of butter in a pan over high heat, adding a bit of olive oil to increase the smoke point.

Smash and chop 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic, then add them to the melted butter and olive oil mixture.

Roughly chop fresh parsley, keeping the stems separate for later use.

Bundle the parsley stems with fresh thyme to create a bouquet garni.

Cut the top off a leek, slice it in half, and julienne it before adding it to the butter mixture.

Add the bouquet garni to the butter mixture to infuse flavor.

Inspect mussels, discarding any that are open and do not close when squeezed.

Add the cleaned mussels to the pan with the butter and aromatics, cover, and steam until mussels open.
