Notes
Promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.
Nutritional values are approximate and based on ¼ the recipe. Does not include vegetables.
Additions: Sautéed Mushrooms and Easy Garlic Green Beans are delicious vegetarian substitutions for the ham or can be served in addition to charcuterie.
Air Fryer Instructions: You can also melt the raclette over the potatoes in the air fryer. Place the cooked potatoes in the bottom of the basket, layer on the cheese, and cook at 400 degrees for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Serving Suggestions: this is pretty much an all-inclusive meal, but you can also include a basket of sliced baguette and some fruit.
Shop Your Kitchen: While raclette is pretty specific in terms of cheese, you can vary the items you serve it with. As mentioned, sautéed mushrooms and green beans are nice additions as are your favorite cooked vegetables and roasted sausages or chicken.
Freeze Extra for Later: While you can't freeze the cooked meal, you can put together a raclette kit of sliced cheese, ham, cooked sausages, wrapped separately and frozen. Thaw in the fridge and then assemble as directed.
Make a Plan for Leftovers: Be sure to promptly store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days. Reheat prior to eating. I've used chopped leftovers atop a pizza for a fun twist.
