What Are Potluck Recipes?

I was first introduced to the word “potluck” a few years ago from some of our American readers. The idea is that you all bring something each to a party or a family gathering.

I realised it was something that we all did in the UK too, we just didn’t really have a name for it. It would be that someone was having a barbecue and you would say I will bring x and you can bring y.

But it would usually be centred around your favourite family recipe that had become your signature. For example, my aunt Veronica would always bring her legendary quiche and Dom would always make his amazing looking salads.

But was it wonderful, is how many of these amazing potluck recipes can be made in an air fryer.

Taking Dinner To My Parents

When I was growing up I would always take an extra Sunday dinner to my Grandmas as she didn’t like leaving the house and was a recluse. I loved the idea of having all the food ready to go and just needing to reheat.

Last week I was visiting my mum and dad and decided to bring the food, prep what I could ahead of time and then cook what was left when I was there.

I made air fryer chicken gyros meat using our air fryer oven, then I also made a salad, did air fryer homemade flatbread, made air fryer homemade chips and then bought a dip selection.

This was perfect for the 7 of us and got me thinking that I must update our air fryer potluck recipes and give you some new ideas of your own.

Which Air Fryer Is Best For Potluck Recipes?

When we visited my mum and dad with food half cooked and things prepped ready for air frying, we took with us our Ninja Air Fryer Dual. Because of its size its easy to be cooking two things at once and saving lots of time.

Alternatively, if you are just using it for a pie or something of a similar size, I would recommend the Philips Air Fryer XL for its shape.

Can You Cook Party Food In An Air Fryer?

Yes, you can. Nearly all party food can be cooked in the air fryer and you can also make ahead party food and then warm it up in the air fryer when you get there.
