My favorite potluck dish is cold pasta primavera. It tastes and sounds impressive, but takes just minutes to make with its simple olive oil, garlic and fresh basil marinade over mozzarella, tomato and pasta. A definite crowd pleaser, and super refreshing on a summer evening.
Thanks @Junethehomemaker for the referral over here!

My favorite Potluck dish would be a big pot of Smoked multi-variety beans enriched with flavor by using ham-hock, ground chuck and Italian sausage. It is deliciously filling, works great with just about any dish, and can feed a large crowd, all from one pot.

My favorite dish to bring to potlucks is Buttermilk Macaroni & Cheese Salad a dish I got from a Tom Douglas book. Either that or my Garlic Bubble Loaf as everyone loves bread and there usually isn't any bread to sop up the juices from the sausage and peppers or other pasta dishes that people bring.

My favorite potluck dishes are North-Indian Chaat dishes such as Ragada-Samosa, Pav-Bhaji, Wada-Pav and the like. I absolutley love the flavors infused in these chaat dishes. They are easy to make, colorful to display, great finger food and liked by everyone!

I would love to have the recipe for an Indian dish that is made with whole-wheat flour & water, which makes the 'pastry'. Then cauliflower is grated (raw or cooked) and other ingredients are added to the grated cauliflower, and this mixture is spread on one of the dough balls that have been rolled out flat, another disk placed on top of this & then it's fried in a hot frying pan for a short time until brown & crisp. Can you tell me the name of this or share the recipe. I would love to have it...thank you Snigdha. The appies you mention sound delicious too..

My favourite potluck dish, after bringing the lemon for the lemonade, is Peas n'Peanuts. A great last minute dish, especially if you have been at work all day. Ingredients: frozen peas, 1/2 cup of peanuts (you can even buy one of those snack packs), enough sour cream to make a nice mix, salt and pepper. Now that that is decided, you can get on with something else, such as what to wear.
