What To Serve With Raclette

It’s November and that means Raclette Time! “Racler” is a French term meaning “to scrape” and this is where raclette gets its name, both the cheese itself and the popular Swiss dish of melted cheese.

Raclette originated in the snowy regions of the Swiss Alps where skiers would prop half wheels in front of a fireplace in the lodge to soften and blister the exposed surface. They would scrape the melted cheese over bowls of boiled potatoes, grilled vegetables, cornichons, or meats. A nourishing and warming meal after braving the chilly slopes.

We absolutely love and appreciate the simplicity of the traditional raclette tasting plate. Try our version on a cool autumn night … it’s comfort food at it’s finest.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Clean the potatoes and combine in a large bowl with chopped onion, olive oil, salt, and pepper; stir together until well combined

  • Spread the seasoned potato and onion mixture onto a greased, foil-lined baking sheet

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until you can easily pierce potatoes with a fork

  • While potatoes are baking, arrange the salami, cornichons, olives, figs, and mustard on a platter (leaving room in the center for the roasted potatoes and onions)

  • Once the potatoes are finished baking, carefully place them into the center of the platter

  • Next, arrange squares of raclette on a Boska Cheese Barbeclette

  • Heat cheese on lowest possible cooktop setting until it’s bubbling and fully melted; you can remove and add back onto heat as necessary to make sure it heats evenly

  • Once fully melted, scrape the raclette on top of the roasted potatoes and onions

  • Serve immediately

Cheese is about halfway melted here.
