Best Recipes for a Potluck Party

Article Image

Summer and fall are prime season for block parties and potlucks, which have their own special set of requirements for food: it must travel well, please a crowd, and feed a crowd (or be easily scaled up). It must be either delicious at room temperature (and stay that way happily for a few hours) or be easily kept warm in a slow cooker. These recipes tick all the boxes.

    Beef and Three-Bean Chili

    Raspberry-Buttermilk Snacking Cake

    This cake has the most plush, tender crumbs and is a tad tangy from the buttermilk. The raspberries dotted across its top are not only gorgeous post-bake but also the perfect fruity accompaniments to the vanilla-infused cake. The turbinado sugar adds sparkle and crunch—and we love it for that.

    Southwestern Quinoa Salad with Black Beans and Farm Stand Veggies

    The brick-adobe red color of red quinoa was the inspiration for this Southwestern-style salad, with spices, black beans, and farm stand veggies like corn and zucchini (perfect for potlucks and picnics). Since it takes a while to cool down, get the quinoa cooking before prepping the rest of your ingredients.

    Pork and Poblano Chili with Tomatillos and Chorizo

    This dish proves a hearty chili can give off a fresh vibe too. It’s the perfect choice for pork fans (it uses country ribs and chorizo), and the amount of heat is lovely. Serrano chiles are hotter than jalapeños, so keep that in mind when deciding which to use.
