Wikipedia: Raclette (/rəˈklɛt/, French: [ʁaklɛt] ⓘ) is a dish of Swiss[1][2][3] origin, also popular in the other Alpine countries (France, Italy, 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.
