Author Notes
I lived in London, England for a few months a couple of years ago and while I was there I always haunted the Borough Market. All the food at Borough is amazing and blows most other markets I've visited out of the water. One particular stall warmed my heart and stomach regularly -- the Kappacasein stall (which I was sad to discover no longer operates there!). This shop set up a weekly stall offering two french classic street foods -- simply out of this world toasted cheese sandwiches, and plates of new potatoes, gherkins and onions covered in freshly melted racclette. If you plan to try this recipe, I would suggest FRENCH racclette rather than Swiss, in my opinion the flavors are quite different and the French is far better. —DUZE @BakingBackwards
