Add the potatoes, and the octopus to boiling water and cook for 30 to 40 minutes.
Insert a knife in the legs, If it goes in easily, it's ready to eat. Do the same with the potatoes.
Remove them from the pot and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Optional: peel the potatoes. I find peeling them after they are cooked is much easier. You can leave the skin on.
Slice the potatoes (1/4 inch) and place in a layer on a serving plate. Drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and salt (NOT seal salt).
Slice the octopus into 1/2 inch thick slices and place it on top of the potatoes.
Generously, drizzle on some extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika and sea salt.
Simple, delicious and ready to serve! Bon profit!
