    Raclette
    Ingredients:

    * 1 pound Raclette cheese, sliced (for alternatives, see below)*
    * 1 - 1/2 pounds cooked new red potatoes, slice in half
    * 1 small jar gherkin cucumbers, drained
    * 1 small jar cocktail onions, drained
    * Salt and Pepper to taste

    Method:

    Raclette is both a recipe and a cheese. Originating in Switzerland, Raclette cheese is a smooth melting mild cheese made from cow's milk. The cheese became the dish when traditional Swiss herdsmen would take along wheels of cheese as they led their grazing cows from alpine pasture to alpine pasture. In the evening they would place the cheese on rocks by the fire to warm. When the cheese reached the right stage the men would scrape the warm melting cheese onto bread and boiled potatoes and enjoy it with pickled onions and gherkins.
