Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Place in a large pot and cover with cold salted water.

  2. Step 2

    Bring to a boil and cook uncovered until potatoes are fork-tender, 12–15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Slice bread into 0.5-inch-thick pieces. Arrange on a cutting board or in a bread basket.

  4. Step 4

    Drain potatoes and transfer to a serving bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Place raclette cheese slices in a raclette grill, skillet, or broiler pan and heat until melted and bubbly, 3–4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Scrape melted cheese directly onto a slice of bread using a raclette spatula or butter knife.

  7. Step 7

    Serve with warm potatoes, pickles, and fresh bread. Repeat until cheese is gone.
