One gave this dish the name of the man who popularized the potato in France, Antoine-Augustin Parmentier.
To do this he must overcome prejudice, he organizes tastings where he invited important figures
such as Lavoisier and Benjamin Franklin.
He convinced the King of France of its usefulness (in France it was regarded as food for cattle) which leads to its widespread adoption.
This classic dish uses inexpensive ingredients, potatoes and boiled beef and others that are commonly already in the pantry. It is long enough to prepare but easy to succeed.
