Sprinkle on lemon juice and half of Tabasco pepper sauce. Add to potato mixture. Add green onions and toss lightly to mix.

In food processor or blender, combine mustard, salt, pepper, Tabasco pepper sauce, white wine and stock. Blend to mix well. With machine on, slowly add remaining ⅔ cup olive oil. Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat.
