What it is
Valais's scrape of fire: a half-wheel of raclette cheese melted before a fire or grill, scraped in sheets over boiled potatoes with cornichons and pickled onions. Ingredients: raclette cheese (a quarter or half wheel), small potatoes, cornichons, pickled onions, cured meats, white pepper, paprika. Recipe: 1) Boil potatoes in their skins. 2) Hold the cheese's cut face to the heat until it blisters and sags. 3) Scrape the molten layer onto a hot potato. 4) Repeat — the round is the rhythm of the evening. Serve: with Fendant white wine and patience; modern table grills put a mini pan in every hand. Flavor: milky, nutty, browned edges. History: Valais herders melted cheese by the fire centuries ago ('racler', to scrape); the dish defines Swiss mountain sociability. See also: Fondue, Zürcher Geschnetzeltes.
