I'm catering a party of 50, I'm serving pulled pork bbq, salt potatoes. I'm cooking the pork prior, then shredding and adding bbq sauce. I have to transport about 25 miles to site. Also will be servine this in the sterno tables to keep food warm. How far in advance can I make the salt potatoes, and how long will it take the pork bbq to heat back up in the steam tables after being in refridgerator.

It is unsafe and ineffective to try to heat cold food to serving temperature in chafing dishes, they can't go above 145 degrees. It must be reheated in a stove, oven, or roaster, and transferred after it reaches an internal temp of 165.

I have never tries to hold salt potatoes, but I do plan about 2 pounds per 5, they are quite popular.

You might look at the roasted smashed potatoes on another thread, they do reheat better.
