My Grandma's Anise Potato Salad

This is the basic recipe my gram used to use to make her potato salad. It sounds odd, but the anise is really good in this dish.

Ingredients

• 6 medium baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 bunch green onions, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon anise seed
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hard-cooked eggs sliced, for garnish
• 1 dash ground paprika

Steps

1. Place potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and run under cold water to cool. Drain well.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, celery, onion, mayonnaise, and anise seed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until cold. Garnish with sliced hard-cooked eggs, and dust with paprika, if desired.
