Step 1
Put the egg yolks in a mortar and pound with the pestle to make a smooth paste.
Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Then incorporate the oil in a thin stream, stirring continuously with the pestle until well amalgamated.

American version
Don't be misled by recipes that call for chopped sweet gherkins, capers, etc. They're a derivative of tartar sauce, but they're not the "original," if I may put it that way!
