Ingredients

  • 400 g cooked octopus
  • 600 g potatoes cooked in their skins
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

Instructions

  • 1
    Cut the cooked potatoes into thicker slices or wedges. Cut the tentacles of the cooked octopus into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm pieces).
  • 2
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the potatoes and fry them until golden brown and crispy. Then remove them and set aside.
  • 3
    Add the remaining oil and the chopped octopus to the same pan. Sauté it briefly and intensely (just 2-3 minutes) to heat it through and lightly brown it.
  • 4
    Add finely chopped garlic and smoked paprika to the octopus. Stir for about 30 seconds, so the garlic becomes fragrant but doesn't burn.
  • 5
    Return the potatoes to the pan with the octopus, drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Toss everything together briefly.
  • 6
    Serve immediately, ideally with an additional drizzle of quality olive oil.
