By 'potential', I'm assuming you mean they haven't registered on your site yet. If that's the case, there's no real way to do that. To get a list of the user's friends, you need to have an access token for that user. To get that token, they have to authenticate on your site.

Facebook used to have a "Friends" plugin which would allow you to display friends of the user since it went through Facebook itself.. you, the admin, couldn't access that data. Unfortunately, that was deprecated, so not an option anymore.

I hope that helps explain,
Alex

Yeah, could be a nice feature, but definitely ripe for abuse if you can look at guests to your site's friends list without their permission. It's a fine line for Facebook to walk.

Thanks,
Alex
