Octopus with potato and sea salt
This is a traditional Spanish dish that's perfect if you're looking for something fun to serve for dinner! The flavor of the olive oil from Spain helps to perfectly cook the tender octopus so that it's juicy, fragrant, and melts in your mouth. Served on top of a perfectly cripsed potato thanks to the EVOO that it's cooked in with a pinch of sea salt for an extra bite of taste.

Sautéed Potatoes and Octoupus Sautéed Potatoes and Octoupus
I wanted to use the freshly-picked spring potatoes that my parents sent me.Roll the potatoes as you cook, because they'll be more delicious if browned evenly! If you heat the cherry tomatoes well, they will be very sweet.You could also use boiled firefly squid (the insides are sooo tasty) or boiled scallops instead of octopus. Also use asparagus, string beans, or snap peans instead of snow peas! For serving 2. Recipe by haru -
Octopus with Garlic, Butter and Ponzu Sauce Octopus with Garlic, Butter and Ponzu Sauce
My mother usually gives me vegetables and fruits, but this time, she gave me boiled octopus. I'm so obsessed with butter and ponzu sauce these days that I cooked the octopus with it.I used garlic powder to make this recipe simple, but you could also use chopped or tubed garlic. In that case, add butter and stir-fry over low heat until it releases a nice aroma before adding the octopus. For about 3 servings. Recipe by Takuchi -
Galicia Octopus and Potatoes Galicia Octopus and Potatoes
I love Spanish cuisine, so I wanted to make something to go with wine. This is the ultimate version with anchovies that I arrived at after many tries. This is a delicious drinking snack.The key to the deliciousness is the anchovies. The garlic really changes the flavor of the dish. Don't worry if you don't have any on hand, though. You can just go for a light Galicia dish instead. I guess if you go the extra mile and add the anchovies, it'll taste like a professional chef made it! Recipe by WorldMama -

Easy Marinated Octopus and Onion Easy Marinated Octopus and Onion
I created this with a refreshing taste as a side dish to eat between main dishes. My guests rave over this marinade.The web of skin between the octopus tentacles is too watery, so discard.Try this recipe with parboiled squid, ham, or smoked salmon.Grain vinegar tends to be a bit too strong, so I don't recommend it.For those who find the onion too sharp or strong-smelling, soak in water before Step 2.
