Let's Get Started
- Clean the octopus and place it in a pot with water. Boil it for about 1 hour until it's tender.
- While the octopus is boiling, preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Wash the potatoes and place them in a baking tray. Drizzle with half of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast them in the oven for about 1 hour.
- Once the octopus is boiled, place it in a baking tray, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast it in the oven for about 20 minutes.
