Beef Parmentier
"Hachis parmentier", a traditional dish enjoyed by many cultures around the world, contains meat and potatoes. It was invented by a French pharmacist, Antoine Augustin Parmentier, who wanted to fight famine with this recipe. Although things have changed since then, the parmentier is still appreciated on this side of the Atlantic. The potato, with or without its skin, contains vitamin B6, which plays a role in the production of red blood cells and helps with brain and nervous system development.
