Process the pistachios in a good-quality food processor for 10–15 minutes, scraping down the sides every two to three minutes, until smooth. Add the oil and continue to process until extremely smooth and loose.
In a medium-sized pot, heat the egg yolks, sugar, salt, potato starch, water, and 1/4 cup of the pistachio mixture. Whisk well, then continue to stir until the mixture easily coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool, then add it to the food processor and pulse to combine the custard with the pistachio paste.
Transfer to a ziplock freezer bag or container and freeze overnight. Once frozen, blend in the food processor until creamy. Freeze until serving.

can the potato starch be left out? can I use almond flour instead?
Hi! The starch helps the egg mixture set, so you can sub for other starches like arrowroot or tapioca. If you don't want to use any, just leave it out altogether.
