What is a potluck?
The word potluck means taking a chance that whatever is available will prove good or acceptable, which I have found to be true at most. There’s always something tasty. Right? Let’s dive into our favorites.
Just a few ideas that are potluck worthy:
Dips
Dip recipes are always contenders for any party. Creamy, tasty, and easy to eat. Who doesn’t like a good appetizer dip?
We like them so much that we have a few. Check our complete collection of dip recipes.
- Cheesy Dips like the 🥨 Pub Style Beer Cheese, 🐔 Buffalo Chicken Dip, and of course, the mouthwatering 🧀 Queso Dip. You can’t go wrong with any of these tasty dips.
- Creamy Dips are also worth mentioning. 🧅 Homemade French Onion Dip might be our favorite. But a classic 🥑 Guacamole or an exciting but super delicious 🌶 Kimchi Dip are all sure to be crowd-pleasers.

Salsas
Salsa recipes can indeed compete for the best-ever potluck contribution. Salty, crunchy chips and spicy, juicy salsa are my favorites. How about you?

- Fruit Salas like 🍍 Pineapple Salsa & 🥭 Mango Salsa are two favorites everyone loves.
- Classic Salsa Recipes like Pico de Gallo and 🍅 Roasted Tomato Salsa never disappoint.
- Salsa recipes with a new twist like our 🌽 Sweet & Spicy Corn Salsa or Try Esquites, a Mexican Street Corn Salad that is ideally chip worthy.

Chicken Wings & Things
Buffalo Wings, AKA Hot Wings, are finger food crowd-pleasers. If you like your wings a little less spicy, you can try the Garlic Parmesan Wings.
Other notable dishes perfect for bringing to a potluck are Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut Sauce, Buffalo Shimp Jalapeño Poppers, and our Spicy Bacon Wrapped Shrimp.

When it comes to it, anything can be a potluck recipe as long as it’s portable. Salads and veggie sides are great choices. Easy casserole recipes and Enchiladas are quick and easy one-dish recipes that can be packed and reheated.
We would be remiss if we left our noodles. Everyone loves noodles. Noodle dishes can often be served cold or at room temperature, so you won’t have to reheat them.
