The French have their own version of Shepherd’s Pie called Hachis Parmentier – and I made it with my 12-hour beef stock and braised beef.
This French comfort food layers rich beef filling with creamy mashed potatoes, topped with Gruyère and breadcrumbs, then baked until golden.
🥩 Made with:
– 12-hour homemade beef stock (full recipe on my channel)
– Braised beef from the stock
– Creamy mashed potatoes
– Gruyère cheese & breadcrumbs
The result? Rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious.

Full 12-hour beef stock + braised beef recipe on the channel! What would YOU make with it? 👇
Add plenty of budDERR and add some black pepPURR
Bake untill soft
French cottage pie, shepherd's pie is lamb my guy.
You lost me with the mash. What's the point in having mash that is almost like liquid!?
the french dont do anything better except lose their country perhaps
Pretty standard COTTAGE pie recipe. Not sure what's French about it besides the accent when he said butta 😆
Their version of cottage pie so
This looks beautiful.
You said French, not nearly enough butter…
This wins, it has no peas inside it
Cottage Pie. Shepherds Pie is with Lamb. The secret to the name is that Shepherds look after sheep
I'd eat this entire dish without using utensils.
Significantly better than shepherds pie
Yeah this would be better than a cottage pie – but with all that effort put in, how would we ever have the energy to beat you in all those wars!?
Love from across the pond! 😉
Would be a French version of cottage pie not Shepard's pie really
where the fuck is the red wine ?
It looks great. I would leave the cheese topping though.
That looks so good
I thought Shepherd's Pie was made with Lamb. Cottage Pie with Beef.
That looks marvelous.
if you are using beef it is a cottage pie not a shepherds pie.
That’s cottage pie ie beef
Takes too long.
Shepherd’s pie in France because their shepherd’s herd cattle?
XXX Food porn
Thats just regular shephards pie with cheese and breadcrumbs
Shepards don’t raise cattle, they raise sheep. So wrong from go. That’s Cottage pie 🎉
Braised beef is brilliant 🍷
What kind of animals do shepherds look after?
If it’s beef it’s cottage pie. Shepherds pie is lamb (hence shepherds look after sheep). Comparing beef to lamb is like apples to oranges. And even if you were to compare the French version to the British, it’s just a different technique. We call all slow braise cheap cuts. It’s not rocket science.
Stahp!
Potato skins are the best part 😢
I have the Larousse Gastronomique, it only calls for braised beef with lots of butter sauted onions on the inside. Is this your own twist on this dish?
Uhhhh I just make "paté chinois" aka "Chinese paté"
That’s gonna be gorgeous!
It’s cottage pie if yr using beef! Shepherds don’t herd cows! 😂😂🇮🇲
I havent tasted it but that has got to be better 🤤
Beef = cottage pie. Shepherd's pie is a LAMB dish – hence Shepherd!!
Isn't beef a cottage pie and lamb a shepherd's pie?
Wow!❤
As a french myself, I never saw a such good looking and appetizing hachis parmentier. The average ones most likely look like puree on top of bologneese. May I have some, please? 🥺
As a French, I approve of this video ❤️
Hachis parmentier is traditionally made with leftovers bourguignon or pot au feu.
The more modern version is made with ground beef but it's not as good.
Damn I was just inspired in like 6 different ways. Thanks.
…don't know if you ass is punched or countersunk ARE You from Oxford of Foxford ?
This dish is far superior shepherds pie… Ground beef is a far cry from shredded meat
Even if I like both of them
Gotta go with the French here.
COTTAGE PIE
Wonderful!
That is a thing of beauty. So delicious looking!❤
