    Luby's Potato Salad
    This is Luby's Cafeteria's recipe as reproduced in their cookbook



    2 Pounds Idaho potatoes (about 6 medium)
    1 cup diced dill pickles
    1 cup diced celery
    1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions with tops
    3 tablespoons diced red bell pepper or pimento

    2 tablespoons prepared mustard
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    1. In large saucepan, boil potatoes in enough water to cover for 30 minutes or until tender. Drain
    and cool just enough to handle. Peel and cut into 3/4-inch cubes.

    2. In large bowl, combine warm potatoes, pickles, celery, green onions, and red pepper.

    3. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until well blended. Pour over potato
    mixture and toss lightly to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. 8 servings

    Note: Luby's uses California Long White potatoes for potato salad. These are not always
    available in supermarkets. Idaho potatoes make a suitable substitute.

    This Almond Chicken Salad recipe is from my Luby's cookbook. It is very tasty, especially with the toasted almonds. I leave out the pickles, cheese and olives. That is just my preference. One could substitute pecans for the almonds. Here it is:

    4 cups cubed cook chicken
    1 cup seedless green grapes, halved lengthwise
    1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Cheddar Cheese
    2/3 cup toasted sliced almonds
    2/3 cup thinly sliced sweet pickles
    1/4 cup chopped celery
    1/4 cup sliced green olives
    2/3 cup mayonnaise
    3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
    Lettuce leaves (optional)

    1. In large bowl, combine chicken, grapes, cheese, almonds, pickles, celery, and olives.

    2. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise and seasoned salt until well blended. Pour over chicken mixture and toss lightly to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Serve on lettuce, if desired.

    LUBY'S CAFETERIA BAKED HADDOCK ALMONDINE

    1 cup fine, dry bread crumbs
    1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
    2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
    2 (6- to 7-ounce) haddock, cod or other fish fillets
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    2/3 cup mayonnaise
    Water

    Heat oven to 350 degrees.

    In small bowl, combine crumbs, almonds and butter. Mix well. If necessary, add additional melted butter, mixing well, just until crumbs hold together. Coat fish with flour; shake off excess. Place skin side down in baking pan large enough to hold in a single layer.

    Spread mayonnaise evenly over fish. Sprinkle evenly with crumb mixture, lightly pressing into fish. Carefully pour water around fish to 1/8-inch depth. (Take care and pour the thinnest layer of water possible around the fish so you don't wet the topping. This helps fish cook up moist and tender.)

    Bake 20 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with fork.

    Yield: 2 servings.

    Note: To toast almonds, spread them on a cookie sheet and toast at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Any favorite fish fillet may be used.
