- Arrange your choice of meats, cornichons, and herbs on a beautiful platter.
- Preheat the raclette grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions, or set your oven to high broil if you’re broiling.
- Once the cheese is melty and bubbling, scrape it onto your plate over the boiled potatoes and charcuterie.
Notes
Use waxy potatoes for the best texture. For a twist, try sweet potatoes or mixing flavors with grilled veggies.
