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 cup mayonnaise, or to taste

  • ½ teaspoon anise seed

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 4 hard-cooked eggs sliced, for garnish

  • 1 dash ground paprika (Optional)
