Are you planning to host a dinner and need some potluck ideas and recipes? Potlucks are a fantastic way for everyone to bring a dish to share, whether it’s for breakfast, brunch, dinner, or any other occasion. Sometimes there’s a theme, or you can bring whatever you like. The beauty of a potluck is that everyone gets involved in the cooking and planning.
I absolutely love potlucks because they are a fun way to gather and eat with friends and family. One of the best parts is trying out new and delicious recipes that you might not have had before, and then sharing those recipes with your guests.
Another great thing about potlucks is that they make hosting much easier. You don’t have to spend all day in the kitchen, and you save money because you’re not buying all the food yourself. Potlucks are perfect for any time of the year and are great for holiday parties, picnics, graduation parties, BBQs, birthdays, game nights, and more.
You can also host a potluck just to enjoy time with friends and family. No matter the reason, there are so many easy and tasty potluck recipes to choose from. Here are some recipes I’m excited to try:
Pull-Apart Sliders – These sliders have a buttery, garlicky topping and can easily be made vegetarian. Perfect for a birthday party or game night.
Three Cheese Pasta Salad – This simple recipe is great for BBQs, block parties, and picnics. You can prepare it in less than 20 minutes.
Buffalo Chicken Dip – If you love spicy food, this dip is a must-try. Using canned chicken, it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare before baking, and it only requires five ingredients.
Strawberry Shortcake Fluff Salad – This dessert is a hit at any potluck, with marshmallows, pound cake, whipped topping, and fresh strawberries.
Although we split our time between a sailboat and a tiny house and don’t often host potlucks, I love being invited to them. With these potluck ideas and recipes, you’ll be ready for the next time you’re invited to one!
