Traditional Swiss Raclette

What you'll need:
- 2 lbs/1kg small new potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs/800g Swiss Raclette cheese, cut into slices






Side dishes:
- A selection of ham, such as proscuitto, parma ham etc.
- Baguettes
- Gherkins, pickled onions
- Fresh pepper.

Wash the potatoes and boil them in their skin until cooked. Place the potatoes, cheese and all side dishes on the table. Place a slice of cheese into a raclette dish and place under the grill to melt. When the cheese has melted scrape it onto the potatoes, gherkins and pickled onions.

Grind fresh pepper on top and enjoy the melted cheese concoction you just made with your choice of ham and a piece of warm baguette. This serves 8 people.

A wonderful wine to drink with this meal is a light white wine such as Swiss Neufchatel Blanc or California Fumé Blanc.

Other cheeses such as Tilsit, Grey Alp Cheese, Appenzeller & Emmental can also be used.
