When you’ve got to take a dish, these should be on the list! Potluck recipes to save the day.
I don’t work in a shared office anymore (unless you count my husband and 2-year-old), but when I did, we had weekly potlucks. I was always looking for that perfect dish.
You know the one. The one that is gone in seconds, while all the other offerings have only one or two servings missing.
The one you know has been the potluck star of the show.
Yeah, I admit it. I’m one of those people that totally loves to win that contest.
I’ve gathered seven of my favorite potluck recipes from right here on Food Fanatic for you to peruse and enjoy. Every single one of ’em is a winner, and I want to know if you make them for your next get-together!

Brie Norris
Rosemary Cashews Recipe
I know, this isn’t a typical potluck recipe. But I take these nuts (sometimes I used mixed nuts instead of just cashews) to all sorts of parties during the holidays, and I think they’d hold their own at a potluck too. They’re completely irresistible.

7 Layer Dip Recipe
Serve it with Doritos. I’m not kidding. I’ve been eating this stuff since I was a small child, and the type of chip you dip it with can completely change the game.
