Ingredients
- • Boiled octopus, about 2 to 3 kg. shopping list
- • Paprika, spicy or sweet, according to taste. shopping list
- • 3 or 4 medium potatoes shopping list
- • Thick salt shopping list
- • Olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- 1. First, we boil the potatoes. We pour plenty of water with a handful of salt into a casserole, and we put the potatoes in it. We bring it to boil and let it cook for about 30 min. When we prick with a knife and it comes out of the potato without difficulty, they will be ready.
- 2. Let the potatoes cool and peel them. Then, we cut them in slices about 0.5 to 1cm thick approx. and place them on a plate. A wooden plate is traditionally used, but you can do it on a ceramic one.
- 3. Chopped the boiled octopus in small pieces, about one finger thick. It’s easier to use scissors than a knife for the cutting. Then, put it on top of the potatoes.
- 4. Finally, season with a large amount of paprika on top, a drip of olive oil – extra virgin better – and thick salt.
- And that’s it! We have our Galician style octopus ready to eat.
- Extra tip: if you prefer to eat it warm, put it in the microwave for about 30 secs. Enjoy!
