I have a pot luck party rule, which is reiterated prior to every pot luck party, that whoever brings the potato/macaroni salad takes said salad home. This was instituted after I got stuck with three full containers of potato and three full containers of macaroni salad after a party. It all went bad in the fridge after NO ONE would take any home and no one in house eats either.

The real rule is to have a signup sheet with categories where if there's a category with the least signups the current RSVP must pick that one. The base categories for general parties are, Entree, side, dessert, and non-food supplies (cups / cutlery / plates / napkins). If you're going low waste that last person can bring nothing and be assigned to assist with cleanup / washing the dishes.
