For a richer flavor, consider using homemade mayonnaise. Its tanginess will complement the anise beautifully. Feel free to experiment with different types of potatoes. Yukon Golds or red potatoes offer a creamier texture. If you're not a fan of raw onions, you can briefly sauté the chopped green onions in a little butter until softened before adding them to the salad. For a zesty twist, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
10 mins
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.
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, gently combine the cooled potatoes, chopped celery, green onions, mayonnaise, and anise seed. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
03
Step
2 hrs
Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This chilling period is crucial for developing the salad's distinct taste profile.
04
Step
2 mins
Just before serving, gently fold in the sliced hard-cooked eggs, being careful not to mash them. Arrange the egg slices attractively on top of the salad. Dust lightly with ground paprika for a pop of color and a subtle hint of warmth.
