eight instant party foods (2)

Filed under: party foods - bonz @ 6:12 am

now here’s the next 3 instant party foods you should have whenever friends or relatives suddenly dropped by your place.

 

Olives

  • For a festive spread, stop by your local specialty foods store and grab some pickled onions, red peppers and peperoncini.

Have more time?

  • Pit and stuff olives with sausage, then roll in flour and fry for a delicious and filling cocktail snack.

Mayonnaise

  • Mayo can be combined with almost anything to make a dip.

  • Spread on white bread or toast points to make tea sandwiches. Just add cucumbers, smoked fish or thinly-sliced cold cuts.

Have more time?

  • Use frozen chopped spinach to make a spinach dip the night before your party. Bake it in the oven until it’s golden brown and puffy.

Sour cream

  • For an instant meal, bake potatoes — or make potato skins — and top them with sour cream, olives, shredded cheese or bacon.

  • Mix sour cream with mayo and other ingredients such as scallions, hot sauce or jarred artichoke hearts for a decadent dip.

Have more time?

  • Make a sour cream pound cake the night before a party. Slice and drizzle it with honey, jam or maple syrup.
