Preparation

Cook the potatoes until tender, with or without the skin, as preferred. In a fondue pot, melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.

Then add the tomatoes, white wine, and cheese, and let them melt while stirring constantly until a smooth, creamy mixture forms. Add kirsch or water as desired.

Dissolve the cornstarch (e.g. Maizena) in a little water, stir it into the fondue, and continue cooking until the desired consistency is reached. If the mixture is still too runny, simply add a bit more cornstarch. Finally, season with nutmeg and pepper, and serve immediately on a warmer.
