    My family’s would probably be “Damn Good Dip,” which is very easy to make: take a container of sour cream and mix a packet of onion soup-mix into it. Serve with potato chips.

    For standard dinner faire, my parents make Consomme Rice, which is just white rice cooked using beef consomme instead of water.

    My recipe would be Fried Deviled Eggs, which is just deviled eggs but before you put the yolk back in, you batter the whites with panko and throw them in the air fryer until they get crispy and crunchy. It’s an extra step in an already less than easy to prepare food, but I’ve gotten lots of people asking if I’m going to make them when I go to parties.

    I’m also known for my Steakhouse-style Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which, like with the rice, the trick is to boil the garlic and potatoes both in chicken stock instead of water, and then mash the garlic cloves right into the potatoes along with butter and cream cheese. It makes them super flavorful.

    I play airsoft, and after a few guys tried my brisket, that’s how I got my call sign.

    Buuut, I will, in no way, routinely bring that to a potluck. Too much time and money!

    For me? Chicken, smoked with Hickory for three hours, nice and low, with my own dry-rub that’s a little sweet, little smokey, and a little spicy, with a hint of maple coming through.

    Quiche. I challenge you to find a vegetarian dish with a higher taste/effort ratio.

    What is it with all the dips in USA cuisine? And what are you dipping that need such heavy dipping sauces?

      It is a potluck, not just a regular meal. It’s a large get together and you might expect more like a “grazing” behavior than a meal. Everyone brings something and you try a little of as much as you want

      Usually chips. But also other foods. Pizza, bread sticks, french fries. Now that I think about it, it’s usually a carb.

    Buffalo Chicken crunch wraps. Homemade tzatziki with blue cheese, Cilantro lime rice, shredded chicken breast, and some very spicy buffalo sauce.

    Try it with Carolina Reaper… If you dare.

      The unsung hero of potluck.

      “You shouldn’t have,” says the host who no longer has to do dishes. “It’s so wasteful,” says the guest who no longer has to help with dishes.

    Depending on where I’m going either Mac & Cheese or Chili.

    My Chili recipe is a vegan recipe that’s been informed by Texas Chili recipes.

    The Mac is just good fuckin Mac. I add half a caramelized half pound of onions and I like to add green chilies too 🤤🤤
