Hachis Parmentier
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1/2 cup of beef broth
- 1 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 1/2 cup of grated Gruyere cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add the milk and 2 tablespoons of butter to the pot with the potatoes. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in the beef broth and tomato paste. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish and spread the mashed potatoes on top. Dot the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over the mashed potatoes and sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
