Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Raclette cheese
- 900 grams Baby potatoes
- 200 grams Cornichons (small pickles)
- 200 grams Pickled onions
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 grams Optional charcuterie (ham, salami, or prosciutto)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on as they add flavor and texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, add enough water to fully cover them, and sprinkle in the salt. Boil over medium heat for about 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Raclette cheese by cutting it into thin slices that will easily melt under a Raclette grill or broiler.
Arrange the cornichons, pickled onions, and optional charcuterie (if using) on serving plates.
Set up your Raclette grill, broiler, or stovetop setup. If using a Raclette grill, allow it to preheat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once ready, have each diner place their cheese slices onto the Raclette grill tray or under the broiler. Melt the cheese until bubbly and slightly browned, which usually takes 2–5 minutes.
While the cheese is melting, split the cooked potatoes open slightly to allow the cheese to seep into the flesh.
Pour the melted cheese over the warm potatoes and season with freshly ground black pepper.
Serve the melted cheese-coated potatoes with cornichons, pickled onions, and the optional charcuterie for a complete and decadent Raclette experience.
