Perfect potluck recipes

An outdoor candle-lit potluck dinner

If you’re attending a potluck this holiday season, you can always bring one of the tried-and-true dishes that have defined potlucks for decades. Lasagna, salad and pasta salad, for example. But some of these more traditional potluck dishes—though single-pot/pan, as your dish should be—may not be the most unique or surprising on the buffet table. Want to impress, with not a lot of effort? Here are four simple single-pot/pan dishes that will add some flare to the occasion—complements of you.
