A Raclette Appetizer is a traditional and extremely popular dish hails from Savoy, a region of the Alps that crosses the boundaries of France, Italy, and Switzerland. Savoy is near the Western Alps between Lake Geneva in the north and Dauphiné in the south.
The dish consists of boiled potatoes covered in melted cheese, with cured meat and pickles on the side.
Raclette is traditionally served in France with tiny pickles (cornichons) and pickled pearl onions on the side, along with an assortment of cured meats — prosciutto, coppa, bresaola, etc. The pickles and meat can be presented on a platter in the center of the table.
