Ingredients

  • 1 octopus of about 2 kg

  • 4 medium potatoes

  • thick salt

  • sweet and spicy paprika

  • extra virgin olive oil

Process

Free the octopus for at least 24 hours to soften it.

Decong it and wash it well.

Put a large pot with boiled water and when it breaks to boil, introduce and take out the octopus three times to "scare it."

Let it cook for about 40 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces.

Tell them in another pot with water and salt until they are soft.

Drain the octopus and cut it into slices with scissors.

Serve the octopus and potatoes in a wooden fountain, sprinkle thick salt and paprika to taste and water with a good stream of olive oil.

Eat the octopus with chopsticks and accompany it from a white albariño wine.
