Frequently Asked Questions About Racherodaki
What is Racherodaki?
Racherodaki is a traditional Swiss melted-cheese dish. The cheese is heated until molten and served hot, commonly poured over potatoes; it is often prepared and shared at the table.
What cheese is used for Racherodaki?
Traditional Racherodaki uses raclette cheese, which melts smoothly when heated. If you cannot find it, choose a good-melting semi-hard cheese, though the flavour and texture will not be exactly the same.
How do you eat Racherodaki?
Eat Racherodaki while the cheese is hot and fluid, usually by pouring it over cooked potatoes. Pickles and onions are commonly served alongside, and bread can be used to scoop up any melted cheese.
What should you serve with Racherodaki?
Boiled potatoes, cornichons and pickled onions are classic accompaniments to Racherodaki. Their tangy, crisp flavours balance the rich melted cheese; bread is another familiar option for serving with it.
Can you make Racherodaki without a raclette grill?
Yes. Melt the cheese in small oven-safe dishes under a grill or in the oven, or warm it gently in a pan. Watch it closely so it does not burn, then serve as soon as it is molten.
Is Racherodaki the same as fondue?
No. Racherodaki is typically served by pouring melted cheese over potatoes, while fondue keeps cheese in a communal pot for dipping pieces of bread. Both feature melted cheese, but the preparation and way of eating differ.
Why is Racherodaki traditionally melted at the table?
Melting Racherodaki at the table keeps the cheese hot and lets diners take portions as it melts. This communal preparation is part of the traditional meal, and the cheese firms up as it cools.
What does Racherodaki taste like?
Racherodaki tastes savoury, creamy and distinctly cheesy, with its exact intensity depending on the cheese used. Tangy pickles are often served with it to cut through the richness.
Can you eat the rind on Racherodaki cheese?
Whether the rind used in Racherodaki is edible depends on the cheese. A natural edible rind can be eaten if you like, but remove waxed, coated or otherwise inedible rinds.
How should you store leftover Racherodaki?
Refrigerate leftover Racherodaki in a covered container within two hours. Store the melted cheese separately from potatoes and other accompaniments if possible, and reheat it gently in short intervals to help preserve its texture.

What is Racherodaki?
Racherodaki is a traditional Swiss melted-cheese dish. The cheese is heated until soft and flowing, then commonly served over boiled potatoes, with pickles, small onions and bread alongside. It is a warming, convivial meal rather than a cheese eaten on its own.
The cheese is rich and savoury, while potatoes make the dish tender and filling; sharp pickles cut through its richness. In Switzerland it is often enjoyed as a shared meal, and elsewhere it works well for a relaxed supper or a cold-weather gathering. It provides protein but is also high in fat, so serve a moderate amount with vegetables or salad for a lighter plate.
