Potluck ideas?

H and I were just invited to a potluck tomorrow night.

Background: It's a small last minute thing being put together by someone we met at a friend's birthday party - we've been chatting on fb but haven't seen her since.  Anyways, she's inviting everyone over because she wants to make beef stew, but only knows how to make a lot, and it's just her haha.

So, our "standby" dish is H's baked potato salad, but that doesn't seem very beef-stew-side-dishy. Any ideas on something else we could whip up?

Re: Potluck ideas?

  • what's a baked potato salad?!  if you don't know already, I seriously LOVE potatoes.  Like seriously.
  • What about some kind of dip and chips for an appetizer?  Or some simple fresh veggies or fruit?

  • Cornbread, Hot Rolls, I think some sort of starch should go with it. Or, if you want to do a veg, roast or grill some corn ears. Yum!

     Haha, seems like there are a lot of people on here who like potatoes :D

    His baked potato salad is something he made up when he got the "Bring potato salad" card to a potluck forever ago.  H HATES mayo, so he decided to make this salad up.

    Basically cut up and boil potatoes like you would for a potato salad, then add sour cream, chives, bacon bits, cheese, etc....basically all the fixin's you would put on a loaded baked potato, and mix and serve :) not very healthy, but it's freaking delicious :D

  • Thank you guys so much for all the input! I was reading off the list of stuff off to H, and he got really excited about the cornbread idea and is now frantically writing out a recipe for it, so I guess that's what we're taking hehe.  Thanks again!

    Fresh bread. 
    That sounds good, or fancy rolls (like essential baking co rosemary rolls).

    um, this sounds amazing!  I love regular potato salad (my mom's recipe though), but I would eat this any day!
