Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs small new potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream (heaping)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (heaping)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Directions

  1. Boil potatoes in their skins until just tender; pour off the water and set aside.

  2. When cool enough to handle, either remove the skins or leave them on; then cut them into bite-size pieces, either halves, quarters, or chunks, depending on their size.

  3. Transfer the potatoes to a big bowl; mix in the sour cream, mayonnaise, green onions, bell pepper, celery seeds, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, eggs, horseradish, and brown mustard.

  4. Toss well and taste; add more horseradish or brown mustard if you want.

  5. Season to taste with Tabasco and salt and pepper; chill a few hours until ready to serve.
