Ingredients

  • 10 white rose potatoes or red potatoes
  • 6 eggs hard boiled
  • 2 tablespoons green onions
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes until they are just soft - you don't want them to be too mushy.
  • Let them cool, then peel them and cut them into bite sized pieces.
  • Hard boil the eggs - I like to use this method.
  • After they cool cut them into bite sized pieces.
  • Chop the green onions.
  • Mix the potatoes, eggs, onions, salt and pepper in a bowl. Chill in the fridge until just before you're ready to serve.
  • Right before you serve the salad add the mayonnaise, sour cream and yellow mustard and mix well.
