Raclette Potatoes with Cornichons
Description
The recipe for Raclette Potatoes with Cornichons starts with halved boiled baby potatoes, which maintain their skin for extra texture unless you prefer otherwise. Slices of raclette cheese are cut roughly to match the size of the potato halves and placed on top. The potatoes and cheese then broil until the cheese melts fully, creating a luscious, gooey topping. A single cornichon is placed on each cheese-covered potato, adding a sharp, acidic counterpoint to the richness. The broiler heats quickly and requires close attention to prevent burning while achieving a smooth melt.
The result is a bite-sized, savory combination of tender potatoes, melted cheese with slightly crisped edges, and the vibrant acidity of cornichons. This dish works well as a hot appetizer or as a room-temperature component on a buffet table. Its simplicity showcases the distinctive flavors of raclette cheese and pickled cornichons.
This dish is best served immediately while the cheese is still melty, though it can be enjoyed at room temperature if needed. The preparation is minimal with only a few ingredients, focusing on texture contrasts and straightforward assembly.
Ingredients
- 6 baby potato boiled, do not peel unless you dislike the skin
- 3 lices raclette cheese (half a full slice)
- 12 cornichons
Instructions
- Preheat broiler (grill.)
- Cut the potatoes in half and place on a baking tray.
- Cut slices of cheese approximately the same size as each potato half and lay it on top of each half.
- Place under a preheated broiler, watching carefully until the cheese has melted.
- Place a small cornichon on each potato half and serve immediately for results (while the cheese is still melty).
Notes
- Serve the potatoes hot after melting the cheese to enjoy the fullest flavor and creamy texture.
- They can also be served at room temperature as part of a buffet selection.
