Shepherd's Pie vs Hachis Parmentier - Comfort Food Battle

So you want to know a little more about me? I grew up in New Zealand. I think I was about 3 years old when I first put on an apron and started helping my mum in the kitchen. I was a terrible student. So, I unenrolled myself from school in year 10 and enrolled myself into chef school. Fast forward to now, I have cooked in some great restaurants in Auckland, London, Sydney and Melbourne. I also spent time in the business-side of hospitality, managing restaurants, cafes and bars in airports and mucking around with great Australian beef and lamb in a test kitchen. It’s a pretty incredible thing to be able to share what I cook with so many people now. I appreciate you all and love when you comment, ask questions and request your favourite dish. I have some pretty big goals for my food content, especially my YouTube channel. Andy x

Two legendary dishes, two culinary traditions, but which one will reign supreme in the kitchen? Today, I'm breaking down the authentic techniques behind both Hachis Parmentier and Shepherd's Pie, revealing the crucial differences that elevate one above the other—plus the game-changing technique that works for both. THE STORY BEHIND THE DISHES: Shepherd's Pie emerged from the British Isles and Ireland as a humble way for shepherds to use leftover roast lamb, while Hachis Parmentier was named after Antoine-Augustin Parmentier, who convinced skeptical French citizens that potatoes weren't poisonous. Both dishes transformed "peasant food" into beloved national treasures.
