When a potluck lands on the calendar fast, the hard part is choosing something that fills a real gap without turning it into a full menu plan. This collection brings together 17 dishes that cover dips, pasta salads, warm sides, hearty bakes, and dessert, so you can match your time, fridge space, and travel setup. The quicker options handle the true last-minute moments, while the longer bakes work when you have a little extra lead time but still need something crowd-ready.
