Raclette

We went to a friends house a few weeks ago and had raclette. We had our own machine 36 ours later. We put the melted cheese on potatoes. As you can see in the photo, putting bacon in the cheese is an acceptable practice.

My understanding is that they make excellent raclette in Valais. We might be making a trip.

I was told that the machine is more or less standard kitchen equipment in Switzerland.
