Creamy Potato Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Dressing
    1 cup mayonnaise (preferably homemade)
    1/4 cup sour cream
    2 tablespoons milk
    1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar (or cider vinegar)
    3 drops Tabasco sauce
    1 teaspoon prepared mustard (I use English)
    1 pinch sugar
    Salad
    2 large potatoes (scrubbed but not peeled)
    1/2 cup cucumber (peeled, seeded and finely chopped)
    2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions (spring onions)
    1 egg (hard boiled chopped)
    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped fresh, coriander)
    2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley (chopped)
    salt & fresh ground pepper
Preparation
    Dressing:
    Put all the ingredients in a bowl and combine (can be made ahead and kept covered in fridge for a day or two).
    Salad:
    Boil the potatoes in salted water for 20 - 25 mins until cooked but still firm.
    Pour off the hot water and add tepid water; let the potatoes stand until cool enough to handle; drain.
    Peel potatoes and cut into chunks.
    Put warm potatoes in a large bowl and add cucumber, scallions,egg, cilantro and parsley.
    Season to taste with salt and pepper; let stand for a few minutes.
    Pour dressing over potatoes and toss gently.
    Season again if necessary.
    Serve chilled or at room temperature.
