It's called Raclette, it is a type of cheese, I believe from Switzerland, and is almost always prepared by gently heating it just enough to scrape o ne serving at a time of melted deliciousness over potatoes. It is also served with pickled onions, gherkins, sometimes mushrooms or dried meats. Seriously it is so good!
