CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES, CARAMELIZED ONION and RACLETTE

CRISPY ROASTED POTATOES, CARAMELIZED ONION and RACLETTE — Raclette is an incredible melting cheese, and is here to elevate any holiday meal with its mild sweetness and nutty flavor. While usually melted over a raclette grill, a good ole non-stick pan will also do the job. Find Emmi Raclette and other Emmi cheeses at Ingredients (Serves 4) 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbs kosher salt 4 lbs (6 to 7 Russet potatoes), peeled, cut into 1.5-inch or 4cm cubes 1 cup neutral oil, plus 4 tbs, such as avocado, sunflower, grapeseed, etc. 2 tsp onion powder 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp mustard powder 3 large yellow onions, finely sliced Water or white wine Kosher salt 7 oz (200g) Raclette Heat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the baking soda, salt and potatoes. Boil the potatoes for 5 to 8 minutes, until softened, but not quite cooked all the way through. Pour out the excess water and vigorously shake the potatoes in the dry pot to create crumbly edges. In a high sided 9 x 13 pan, add 1 cup of oil. Add the potatoes, a sprinkle of salt, and roast in the oven for 1 to 1 hour 15 mins, mixing every 20 minutes to toss the potatoes in oil. Meanwhile, in a medium pan over medium heat, add 4 tbs of oil, onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions go from light and translucent to a deep brown color, about 40 mins. As soon as you see hard brown bits at the bottom of the pan, add some water or wine to deglaze the pan and scrape those bits in the liquid. You’ll have to deglaze a few times. Add the roasted potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon (to drain out any excess oil) and toss in the spices and a pinch of salt. Add them to a serving plate and top with onions. Right before serving, to a nonstick pan, add the slices of Emmi Raclette. Heat over medium heat until the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes. Pour over the potatoes and serve right away (the cheese will harden in a few minutes).
