Equipment

  • Baking pan

Ingredients

  • ½ package Trader Joe's raclette sliced cheese
  • 1 pound teeny tiny potatoes (baby fingerling potatoes elsewhere)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes
  • avocado oil spray (or other neutral oil cooking spray)
  • 5-10 cornichons

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water.
  • Let the potatoes come to a boil, and then turn down to a simmer. Cook for 6-7 more minutes or until an inserted fork can easily pierce it, but the potato doesn't fall apart. Remove from heat and drain the water. Set potatoes aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Spray the potatoes with avocado oil (or toss in olive oil), salt, and pepper.
  • Put the potatoes in an oven safe baking dish, and then toss the tomatoes in the remaining oil. Add them to the potatoes in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Remove the baking dish, and place half the package (4-5 slices) of cheese atop the potatoes and tomatoes.
  • Put back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
  • To serve, scoop potatoes and tomatoes with melted raclette on a plate. Add cornichons to the side, and eat once the food has cooled enough to be edible.
