Potluck

Thank you to everyone who can contribute to our wedding by bringing a dish. We appreciate you helping us make this a true community event!

We understand that those of you who are traveling may not be able to participate in the potluck. We appreciate the distance you will travel to be with us on this special day. Thank you everyone for being a part of this exciting event!

Below you will find the recipes to choose from. Please bring your dish either in something we can recycle, or a labeled container (tupperware, for example) that we can get back to you. We will transfer them to serving dishes at the site.

If you have questions about the potluck, please contact Heather Quarles at 541-912-0293 or .

Potluck Recipes

 

French Potato Salad download

  • 3 pounds red fingerling potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 3 shallots, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • Pepper to taste
  1. Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water to cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for about 10-20 minutes, or until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a paring knife. Drain in a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes, or until they can be handled. Don't let them cool for too long because you want them warm when you combine them with the dressing.
  2. While the potatoes are cooling, in a small bowl, whisk together the wine, vinegar, oil, parsley, and shallots.
  3. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds leaving the skin on.
  4. In a large bowl combine the potatoes and the dressing. Gently mix with your hands or a wooden spoon.
