Less recipe, more ritual: molten raclette scraped over potatoes, cornichons, and charcuterie. A broiler substitutes honorably for the Alpine machine.

Before you start
Prep checklist
Yukon Gold Potatoes — boiled whole
Red Onion — pickled quick in vinegar
Whole Black Peppercorns — cracked
Boil the potatoes until tender, 18 minutes; keep warm under a towel.
Broil raclette slices in small dishes until molten and blistering, 2–3 minutes a round.
Scrape over split potatoes; cornichons, pickled onion, and prosciutto alongside; cracked pepper over. Repeat in waves until surrender.
💡
The cornichons aren't garnish — their acid resets the palate between rounds of molten cheese. Alpine wisdom.
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of water.
Freezing
Freezes well up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
Reheat gently: covered in a 160°C oven for 15 minutes, or in a pan over medium-low with a splash of water or stock. The microwave works at 50% power in short bursts — full blast toughens proteins.
Make ahead
Most braises and sauces improve overnight. Sear-and-serve dishes: do every step up to the final cook, then finish fresh.
Wine pairing
Match the weight of the dish — ask the AI Chef for a specific bottle.
Beer pairing
Match intensity: lagers for delicate dishes, amber ales for roasted flavors, stouts for the rich and braised.
