Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in salted water for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes and keep them warm.
Slice the zucchini into thin rounds and clean the button mushrooms. Toss both the zucchini and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary.
Preheat a grill pan or your raclette machine. Grill the zucchini and mushrooms until they are tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and arrange them on a platter along with the boiled potatoes, grilled vegetables, cornichons, and pickled pearl onions.
Cut the raclette cheese into thin slices that fit the grills or trays of your raclette machine.
Set your raclette machine in the center of the table. Heat the cheese slices in the machine until melted and bubbling, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve the melted raclette cheese over the boiled potatoes, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread, as desired. Pair each bite with a pickle or onion for a tangy contrast.
