Notes

Special equipment: a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a saucepan and add cold salted water to cover. Cover the pan with a lid, bring to a simmer and cook until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Add the potatoes, beer, shallots, butter, mustard and garlic to a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, cover and cook on high until the liquids are at a simmer, about 2 hours.

Step 3

Season with salt and pepper, then add the mussels. Cover and continue to cook on high until the mussels open, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels.

Step 4

Stir in the sour cream at the end and finish with the scallions on top. Serve with toasted garlic bread or crispy potatoes for dipping.
