Ingredients

• 500 grams Raclette cheese
• 1 kilogram Baby potatoes
• 200 grams Cornichons (small pickles)
• 150 grams Pickled pearl onions
• 250 grams Assorted charcuterie (e.g., prosciutto, salami, ham)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside, keeping them warm.

Step 2

2. While the potatoes are cooking, slice the Raclette cheese into thin, even pieces suitable for melting. If you have a Raclette grill, place the slices on the trays. If using a broiler, set the cheese aside for later use.

Step 3

3. Arrange the cornichons, pickled onions, and charcuterie on a large serving platter. Slice the crusty bread into bite-sized pieces or serve whole for diners to tear apart.

Step 4

4. If using a Raclette grill, heat the grill according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the cheese slices to the trays and melt until bubbling and slightly golden around the edges.

Step 5

5. If using a broiler, preheat it to high. Arrange the cheese slices on a heatproof dish and broil for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Step 6

6. To serve, place the warm potatoes on individual plates. Pour or scrape the melted Raclette cheese over the potatoes. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper on top, and garnish with parsley if desired.

Step 7

7. Serve the cheese-covered potatoes alongside the platter of charcuterie, pickles, bread, and any additional sides.

Step 8

8. Encourage diners to assemble their plates as they wish, pairing the rich, gooey cheese with the variety of accompaniments.
