Hachis-parmentier

Hachis parmentier is a dish made from potatoes and minced beef. It’s an economic dish because it can be made from pieces of meat left from pot-au-feu or a roast. The meat 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.
