Instructions

1. Prepare the Smashed Potatoes:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.
3. Place the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently smash each potato with the bottom of a glass.
4. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes, then season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
5. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

2. Make the Raclette Sandwich:

1. Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard (if using).
2. Layer Raclette cheese and prosciutto (if using) on two slices of bread. Top with the remaining slices, buttered side out.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

3. Serve and Enjoy:
Slice the Raclette sandwiches in half and serve with the crispy smashed potatoes on the side. Add a fresh salad or pickles for a complete meal.

Tips:

• Substitute Raclette with Gruyère or Fontina if needed.
• Add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor in the sandwich.
