If you were going to a potluck dinner, what would you make?

@caroln mentioned devilled eggs too. I was just going to add them. Several people will bring them and every egg will be devoured. If you don’t have a special dish, serve them on lettuce.

I know the party is over but I’m still hungry.

There were no deviled eggs, or I would have certainly grabbed one, but there were eggs in the potato salad, so ..... close but no cigar.

Gawwd that looks so good. I think I was switched at birth. My mind always gravitates to Italian food. If you put pasta, sauce, and cheese with anything, my stomach will throw a fit if it doesn't get some.

You are absolutely right. There was chili there, as well as baked beans, and shepherd's pie too. There was also pumpkin cornbread which was delicious, and my first time for it. Among the desserts was a cherry cobbler type dish with sliced almonds all over the top, and it was awesome. I've decided I like potlucks. It's like the smorgasbords that you hardly see anymore. You could say it's a personally customized dinner.

Was that cherry dish Cherry Clafoutis, by any chance? It is scrumptious. The last time I made it was a few years ago (see attached), but very simple to make. Oh gosh, I'm DROOLING!

That looks very much like it, except it had sliced almonds covering the entire top of it. I just assumed it was cobbler, but I have no idea.
You sure seem to have an extensive knowledge of cooking and baking. I'll bet you would get lots of invitations to those type gatherings.

At my first job out of college I had a coworker who brought baked turkey ziti to all our potlucks, it was awesome.

I'm not much of a cook so I always made 7 layer dip because it required no skill.

My second job didn't have potlucks, but they had cookie exchanges where I discovered types of cookies I had never heard of (and failed miserably to reproduce at home).

Actually, the recipe does include almonds, except they're on the bottom with the fresh cherries. Here's the original recipe. (Instead of milk, I use half and half. I also substitute Amaretto for the almond extract.)

I'm currently enjoying my hermit phase, so I rarely create dishes for others except for my husband. I predict you'll be getting the invitations, My Friend, because your potato salad looked like a winner!
