Ingredients

2 lbs (900 g) raclette cheese, sliced (or any other good melting cheese like Gruyère or Emmental)
2 lbs (900 g) small potatoes, boiled and kept warm
Assorted pickles (cornichons, pickled onions)
Assorted cured meats (ham, salami, prosciutto)
Freshly ground black pepper
Optional: paprika, cayenne pepper

Instructions

Prepare the Cheese

Slice the raclette cheese into pieces that will fit into your raclette grill or individual raclette pans.

Cook the Potatoes

Boil the small potatoes until tender. Drain and keep them warm in a covered dish.

Set Up the Raclette Grill

Preheat your raclette grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Melt the Cheese

Place slices of raclette cheese in the raclette pans and slide them under the raclette grill to melt. Alternatively, you can use a broiler or an oven at high heat to melt the cheese if you don't have a raclette grill.

Prepare the Table

Arrange the boiled potatoes, pickles, and cured meats on serving platters.

Set out the optional baguette or crusty bread if using.

Provide freshly ground black pepper, paprika, or cayenne pepper for seasoning the melted cheese if desired.

Serve

Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, scrape it over the warm potatoes.

Season with freshly ground black pepper or other optional seasonings.

Enjoy with pickles, cured meats, and bread.
