Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 pound Raclette cheese
• 8 slices Thick-cut bacon
• 6 small Dill pickles
• 1 pint Cherry tomatoes
• 1 loaf Crusty bread
• 4 stems Green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are roasting, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into bite-size pieces.

Step 5

Slice the raclette cheese into thin squares or rectangles that will fit easily onto your raclette grill trays or skillet. Set aside.

Step 6

Prepare the accompaniments: slice the dill pickles lengthwise into quarters, halve the cherry tomatoes, cut the crusty bread into small cubes, and slice the green onions finely.

Step 7

If using a raclette grill, heat the grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If using a skillet, heat it over low heat to slowly melt the cheese.

Step 8

Place the cheese in your raclette grill trays or skillet and let it melt until bubbly and runny. Meanwhile, set the roasted potatoes, bacon, pickles, tomatoes, bread, and green onions on a large serving platter.

Step 9

Once the cheese is melted, pour it generously over the roasted potatoes and serve immediately with the toppings and accompaniments. Let everyone build their own perfect bite of 'Raclette American Style.'
