Preparing Delicious Potatoes for Church Potluck

[jdavis]

I am going to a church potluck tomorrow and was thinking about making some kind of potato side dish in the rectangular baker, they are doing the burgers and dogs, and lots of homemade icecream (speaking of I am going to break out my icecream maker for the first time so if anyone has any tips on this I would greatly appreciate them). If not I am actually thinking of making plain ole' cheesy potatoes made with velveeta. Unless someone has any other ideas, or maybe I'll try to toss with some garlic and butter.

I don't know, I have been looking through recipes and all, but my thing is it will take about 20 minutes to get there, and I don't have the carrier to keep it warm, I know the stoneware stays warm but long enough to get there, and them do all their thing, then it will be okay by time to eat.

TIA
Jen

Favorite Pot Luck RecipeDuring the summer, my favorite thing to bring is the Mexican Fiesta Salad Pizza (recipe attached). I serve it on the round woven...Press and Seal sticks perfectly to it! It's always a hit, and great served cold!

HTH!!!!

One idea could be to make a loaded potato casserole using the rectangular baker. You could mix cooked diced potatoes with cooked bacon, shredded cheese, sour cream, and green onions, and then bake in the baker until heated through and bubbly. This would be a hearty and delicious side dish that could be served at room temperature. As for the homemade ice cream, some tips for using an ice cream maker include making sure the bowl of the machine is completely frozen before using it, and not filling the bowl with too much mixture (as it will expand as it churns). Also, be sure to let the ice cream "ripen" in the freezer for a few hours after churning to allow it to fully set. Good luck!
