Raclette Potato Skins image

Raclette is both the name of an Alpine cheese and the dish in which it stars. The creamy, yet sharp, flavored cheese is gently melted and served with various accompaniments like potatoes, ham and cornichons. For these potato skins, we channeled the classic Swiss dish and put all the components together on top of a potato skin.
