A comforting and easy-to-make dish featuring creamy Swiss raclette cheese melted over crispy roasted potatoes, perfect for cozy dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, washed and halved
  • 12 oz Swiss raclette cheese, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional)
  • 1 small shallot, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon white wine or apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, melted butter (if using), minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange potatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crispy on the outside but tender inside.
  4. While potatoes roast, sauté diced shallots with a splash of olive oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add white wine or apple cider vinegar and cook another minute to deglaze. Set aside.
  5. Slice the raclette cheese thinly if not pre-sliced.
  6. Once potatoes are done roasting, reduce oven temperature to broil.
  7. Carefully layer the melted shallots over the potatoes, then arrange the raclette cheese slices on top.
  8. Broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely, until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  9. Remove from oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while melty and warm.

Notes

Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Slice cheese thinly for smooth melting. Watch cheese closely while broiling to prevent burning. Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best texture. Can substitute plant-based cheese for dairy-free version. Avoid overcrowding potatoes on baking sheet to prevent steaming.
