Raclette - The Old School Way

This is always part of our New Year's Eve food lineup - and an important part at that. We use it essentially as an appetizer. It's not just good, but also a very social and fun food to eat. Think fondue, but the cheese melts in the little trays rather than in a pot.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Raclette cheese
• 12 ounces baby potatoes
• 10 ounces Cornichon pickles (the little guys)
• 2 ounces cocktail onions (the little martini-style guys)

Preparation:

• Steam, boil, microwave or bake potatoes until cooked
• With griddle side facing up, place a 1/8 inch slice of cheese in each tray and place trays in their holders under Flip Grill
• Turn to setting 10
• While cheese begins to melt, slice 6 potatoes in half and place them cut side down on the griddle
• Once the cheese has melted, drizzle it over the potatoes and serve with the onions and pickles
• The idea is to get potato with melty cheese, pickle and some onion in each bite
• As soon as you remove the cheese - put the next slices in the trays...you'll want to keep eating - trust me
