Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Raclette cheese
- 1 kilogram Baby potatoes
- 300 grams Assorted cured meats (e.g., prosciutto, salami, ham)
- 150 grams Cornichons (small pickles)
- 100 grams Pickled pearl onions
- 1 loaf French baguette (optional, for serving)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Carefully add the baby potatoes and boil them for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Raclette cheese by slicing it into 3-4 mm thick pieces that will easily fit onto the Raclette grill or melting pan.
3. Arrange the cured meats, cornichons, pickled pearl onions, and sliced baguette (if using) on serving platters for easy sharing.
4. Preheat a Raclette grill or tabletop melting pan per the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Once the grill is hot, place slices of Raclette cheese onto the melting tray or directly on the grill surface. Heat the cheese until it is bubbly and melted, ensuring not to overcook it.
6. Serve the melted Raclette cheese immediately over boiled potatoes, alongside the prepared cured meats, cornichons, pickled onions, and baguette slices.
7. Repeat the process of melting cheese for each serving, and enjoy this hearty, rustic Alpine meal with friends or family.
