About Potluck
A good potluck dish is easy to carry, tastes fine warm or at room temperature, and serves many. Casseroles, pasta salads, baked dishes, rolls, and sheet-pan desserts all fit well. Cook in a dish with a lid if you can.
Unlike Parties or Family Gatherings, where one host cooks most of the food, a potluck is shared by everyone. That means your recipe should be simple and not need last-minute work. Pick something that holds up well and cuts into easy portions.
