Description

A traditional Christmas dish in Switzerland, Western Germany, and partially in France. It's quite simple to prepare but very enjoyable for a family dinner. Instead of raclette cheese, you can use Gouda, Roquefort, or Tilsit cheese. You can also experiment with the ingredients — any meat, vegetables, or fruits can be used...

Ingredients

Salad Potatoes - 4 pieces
Roquefort cheese - 28.2 oz
Pickles - 12 pieces
Spanish onions - 1 piece
Marinated cherries - 12 pieces
Canned Truffles - 12 pieces
Ham - 7.1 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Boil the potatoes in their skins, then peel them. Slice the onion into rings and sauté until golden brown.

Step 2

Take small bowls (according to the number of servings), and arrange all the ingredients except for the cheese. Place the potatoes in the center (you can also arrange everything on one ceramic dish).

Step 3

The main procedure is to cover everything with cheese. There are three ways: 1 — buy a special raclette grill, melt the cheese in it, and pour it over the ingredients; 2 — place slices of cheese covering the surface of the filling and put the bowls in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts, then serve immediately. 3 — (The original method!) cut the cheese wheel in half, and carefully hold the cut side to the fire (you can use a fondue burner or regular candles if you can't light a fire :)) Once the surface starts to melt, scrape the top layer directly into the bowl with the filling and continue the process for all bowls.
