LOADED BAKED POTATO ROUNDS
I was trying to create an appetizer that could be served at my teenaged daughters birthday party that the kids would love but that would appear elegant enough for the adults to be interested as well. These are made with simple ingredients yet yield a sophisticated result. Feel free to get creative with the flavors. Try shredded white cheddar in place of mozzarella or thyme instead of the rosemary. Take it up another notch by topping the rounds with smoked fish. -Amanda Digges, South Windsor, Connecticut

Steps:
- Scrub the potatoes, but do not peel them. Use the tip of a knife to cut out any eyes.
- Put the potatoes in a pan of cold, salted water. Bring it to the boil and cook them for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Cut the cheese into thin slices.
- Check that the potatoes are cooked by pushing a sharp knife into one. It should come out easily.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool a little. Cut them in half. Lay the cheese onto the cut side of each potato.
- Put the potatoes under the broiler (or onto a grill rack) and cook until the cheese melts and starts to bubble.
RACLETTE (MELTED CHEESE WITH POTATOES AND PICKLES)
Steps:
- 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.
MELTED RACLETTE CHEESE WITH MARBLE POTATOES AND PURSLANE
Steps:
- Serve:
- 1 pound raclette, thinly sliced
- Purslane, for garnish
- To make the marble potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and generously season with salt. Bring to a boil, and strain immediately. In a baking pan, cover the potatoes completely with olive oil and add the thyme and garlic. Bake until the potatoes are tender. Let cool to room temperature and peel the potatoes with a small paring knife.
- To make the potato puree:
- In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until the butter solids turn brown. Remove from the heat. Put the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain. Pass the potatoes through a food mill. Add the brown butter and cream and mix to combine. Adjust the consistency with some of the half-and-half; you may not use all of it. Stir in the Gruyere and creme fraiche. Pass through a fine mesh sieve. Season to taste with salt.;
- To serve:
- Using an ovenproof plate, place a spoonful of the potato puree on each plate. Arrange a few of the whole fingerling potatoes on top of the puree. Place about 4 ounces of the raclette on top of the potatoes and flash the dish under the broiler just until the cheese bubbles. Garnish each plate with purslane.
RACLETTE
Steps:
- In a large pot combine 8 cups water, potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- If you have oven-proof plates, preheat a broiler. If you do not have oven-proof plates, preheat oven to 250 degrees. When cool enough to handle, cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. Divide the warm potatoes, cut-side up, evenly among four plates, arranging them in a pinwheel pattern.
- Arrange one quarter of the cheese slices in a single layer over each portion of potatoes, taking care to completely cover all potatoes. Broil or bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes in a broiler or 10 minutes in an oven.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with scallions sprinkled on top. Cornichons, pickled onions and pickled cauliflower are optional accompaniments. If desired, the dish may be served with a green salad.

Steps:
- Start by making the vinaigrette. Put the mustard and red wine vinegar into a bowl or jug and whisk together. Add salt and pepper then slowly add the sunflower oil, whisking as you go until the mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in the chopped chives and store in the fridge until needed.
- Boil the potatoes for 15-18 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to steam dry for a few mins then add the butter, keep warm until serving.
- Arrange all the other ingredients in bowls, plates and platters on the table. Set up and turn on the raclette machine according to manufacturer's instructions - you may want to set the raclette machine on a heatproof tray to catch any melty cheesy drips.
- Let your guests help themselves to ingredients - if your raclette machine has a top hot plate use this to keep the potatoes warm or crisp them up and use to cook the peppers if you don't want them raw.
- Get stuck in! Everyone should have their own mini handled tray on which to put a slice or two of raclette cheese. This then sits under the central grill until melted. With an arrangement of potatoes and/or cured meats etc on their plate, your guests can then scrape their own portion of melted cheese on top with a wooden paddle or spoon. Leave the jug of vinaigrette on the table so it can be drizzled over the potatoes or salad leaves to taste. Serve with crusty bread on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Raclette cheese is a semi-hard cheese with a smooth, creamy texture and a nutty flavor. It melts well and is perfect for raclette. If you can't find raclette cheese, you can substitute another Swiss cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmental.
- Use a good quality potato: The type of potato you use will affect the taste and texture of your raclette. Choose a firm, waxy potato, such as a Yukon Gold or a red potato. These potatoes will hold their shape well when cooked and won't get too mushy.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner you slice the potatoes, the quicker they will cook and the more surface area they will have to absorb the melted cheese.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the classic melted cheese, you can top your raclette with a variety of other ingredients, such as cured meats, vegetables, and pickles.
- Serve raclette with a glass of white wine: A crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio, will pair well with the rich flavors of raclette.
Conclusion:
Raclette is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy cheese, give raclette a try.
