Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 pound imported swiss raclette cheese -- cut into 16 slices

-- approximately 1/8-inch thick, 5 inches

 

 

 

4 freshly boiled small new potatoes -- peeled and kept hot

4 small sour gherkins

-- preferably imported cornichons, up to 8

4 pickled onions -- up to 8

 

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Heat four 10-inch oven-proof dinner plates in

the oven for 3 to 5 minutes. To ensure the success of the raclettes, the plates

must be very hot. When ready to serve, remove the plates from the oven.

Working as quickly as possible, arrange four slices of cheese in the center of

each plate, overlapping them slightly. The cheese should begin to sizzle once

it comes into contact with the plate. At once, place the four plates on the

floor of the oven. Let cheese melt in the oven for about 2 minutes, being

careful not to let it brown. Remove from the oven, place a potato and one or

two gherkins and pickled onions on the side of each plate and serve at once.

Serve each plate on a service plate to prevent scorching the table.
