Preheat the oven while you prepare the bowls of pickles and a simple green salad. I bake the potatoes on a bed of coarse salt in the oven. This makes them extra fluffy inside and crispy on the outside. Bake at 200c for approximately 45 minutes.
For the Raclette:
Raclette can be bought in slices or as a quarter or half of a wheel, whatever is available. You don't need to do anything to the cheese, other than melt it gradually, scraping pools of gooey cheese onto plates. You can eat the skin.
