Ingredients

1 large wedge raclette (about 1 pound)
1 dozen cooked small new potatoes, unpeeled
Assorted pickled garnishes: cornichons, pickled onions, caper berries
1/2 pound sliced Black Forest ham
Sliced ripe tomatoes

Directions

1

Have a knife ready and small plates to serve.
2

Arrange potatoes, pickles, onions, caper berries, ham, and tomatoes on a serving platter.
3

Place cheese on a clean stone or a heatproof board or tile as close to the fire as possible.
4

As the top of the cheese melts, scrape off cheese onto potatoes and accompany with garnishes.
5

It takes some time between servings for the cheese to continue to melt, so have some wine or kirsch handy to keep guests happy.
