Shepherd’s pie (Hachis Parmentier)

Shepherd’s pie is a dish made from potatoes and minced beef. It’s an economic dish because it can be made from left over meat from pot-au-feu or a roast, which is mixed with mashed potatoes. This “gratin” gets its name from Antoine Parmentier who convinced Louis XVI that the potato had a good taste and could be proposed to the French people during the famine.
