Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the milk to the potatoes. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Finely chop the onion and carrot, and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the gluten-free beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Spread the beef filling evenly in a baking dish. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing them out with a spatula.
Scatter the grated Gruyère cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your gluten-free Hachis Parmentier!
