Bonjour Internet. Il est le vendredi. (Hi Internet. It is Friday)
It is also FFwD, and Pothole had all the stuff to make today’s recipe.
Yay me!
Hachis Parmentier.
It is pronounced HA she – PAR men TEE ay.
Roughly translated Shepherds Pie.
Basically you chop a pot roast up, boil it with some veggies and herbs.
Strain the broth, chop the meat.
Fry some sausage.
Make some mashed potatoes.
Mix the meats with some other good stuff.
Top with mashed potatoes.
Sprinkle with Gruyere (French Swiss) cheese…which I didn’t have, doggoneit…then some Parmesan cheese.
Bake.
Oh…Internet. This is soooooooooooo good.
No veggies, just meat and potatoes.
Total comfort food.
I’ll be making this again. It is just so quick to make, and if you don’t have a roast to boil, you can just fry some burger with your sausage and use it instead.

The last pic made me soooooo hungry!
I love how simple you write it. And I love that you give the pronunciations. I had no idea how it was pronounced before that. It doesn’t say in Dorie’s book, right? Now I have to go check. 😉
I remember you now showing a picture of your girl cutting meet with gloves on!
I cannot wait to try this now that I have seen yours!
Yum…Looks good enough to eat…I will be doing mine this weekend….
I love your pictures! This was a great recipe, n’est pas?
Oui. C’est vrai.
LOL, see, I was thinking it took forever to make. Compared to how long it ususally takes me to make dinner, anyway.
Yours does look fabulous! Nice job and congrats on having all the ingredients.
Loved this recipe! Glad Pothole had all of the ingredients! 🙂
That looks so good. Im going to make the quick version tonight, hopefully 🙂
nice photos! you are making me hungry!
Mmmm, I love shepherd’s pie.
I am used to green beans with my shepherds pie. Yours looks so good.
Looks so yummy! I’ve only had Shepherd’s Pie made with ground beef and I wasn’t crazy about it, but this looks so much better. Gonna try it soon.
Oh boy. I’m not going to tellyou how I pronounced it. I was very wrong. You’re right about this be a good comfort food dish.
Your picture does the filling so much justice! I had a hard time photographing mine but I took the short cut and it ended up looking like a mushy mess – but still tasty! I will have to make it the long way next time and hope it turns out as well as yours!
Such beautiful pictures! I just couldn’t get them to work well but the dish was still delish…and inspiring as I found it a metaphor for French living… or at least as I imagine it to be!

This was yummy, wasn’t it? And the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen took my mind off the cold weather outside!
