eight instant party foods (2)
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.
