• 1 loaf French baguette (optional, for serving)
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Step 4

Step 6

6. Serve the melted Raclette cheese immediately over boiled potatoes, alongside the prepared cured meats, cornichons, pickled onions, and baguette slices.

Step 7

7. Repeat the process of melting cheese for each serving, and enjoy this hearty, rustic Alpine meal with friends or family.
