- 3.
- Pulse the remaining parsley leaves, the garlic, and anchovies in a food processor until roughly chopped.
- Leave the processor running while adding the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a steady stream.
- Peel the 2 reserved potatoes and add to the parsley along with the hard-boiled egg yolks and lemon juice and pulse 3 to 4 more times.
- Season with salt.
