originally, the marcaire potatoes were simmered over a low heat while the marcaire watched over his flock. when he returned, these potatoes, which formed the basis of the meal with the cheese, were ready.

Today, the famous “marcaire” meal has become the traditional menu served in the farmhouse inns of the Hautes-Vosges. It consists of a soup or a pie from the valley, smoked pork meat accompanied by “roïgabrageldi” (potatoes in strips cooked for 2 to 3 hours in farm butter with onions and bacon), Munster cheese (or Bargkas) and/or a dessert (farm cottage cheese sprinkled with kirsch or homemade pie).
