This article is about the dish. For the cheese, see Raclette du Valais.
Raclette (/rəˈklɛt/, French: [ʁaklɛt] ⓘ) is a dish of Swiss[1][2][3] origin, also popular in the other Alpine countries (France, Germany, Austria), based on heating cheese and scraping off the melted part, then typically served with boiled potatoes. Raclette cheese is historically a dish originating from the canton of Valais in Switzerland. This cheese from Valais benefits from an AOP.[4] Raclette cheese is also a Swiss-type cheese marketed specifically to be used for this dish.
Raclette is also served as street food, but often with bread instead of potatoes.[5]
