Ingredients

• 800 grams raclette cheese
• 1 kilogram small new potatoes
• 300 grams assorted cured meats (such as ham, salami, and prosciutto)
• 100 grams cornichons
• 100 grams pickled onions
• 1 loaf fresh baguette
• 200 grams variety of vegetables (such as bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms)
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the new potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and keep warm.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the cheese by slicing the raclette cheese into thick slices, about 5mm each. Distribute the cheese evenly onto small raclette pans, if you are using a raclette grill.

Step 3

Arrange the cured meats, cornichons, and pickled onions on a serving platter.

Step 4

Slice the fresh baguette into slices and place in a bread basket or on a plate.

Step 5

Wash and prepare the vegetables. Slice bell peppers into strips, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the mushrooms. Arrange the vegetables on a separate platter.

Step 6

Set up the raclette grill on the dining table. Ensure it's hot and ready to use.

Step 7

To serve, encourage guests to melt their cheese slices in the raclette pans under the grill. Once bubbled and melted, pour the cheese over the boiled potatoes.

Step 8

Season with black pepper to taste. Complement with the cured meats, cornichons, pickled onions, vegetables, and fresh bread.

Step 9

Enjoy the raclette hot and continue melting more cheese throughout the meal.
