Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with octopus and potatoes? Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. It is better to take small octopuses — the salad looks more beautiful with them. You can use regular or cherry tomatoes. I have Baku ones — something between cherry and regular ones. You can add or replace the vegetable part to your liking. You can use any vegetable oil for frying. I have sunflower.

Step 2

Step 2
Peel the potatoes and boil them whole until tender. Then cool and peel. Cut the finished potatoes into cubes. It is important to cook the potatoes for so long that they are cooked but not mushy. It depends on the type of potato and the degree of heating of the stove.

Thaw the octopuses first. Place in a bowl, add vegetable oil, dry garlic and herbs de Provence and stir. If you wish, you can add your own spices to taste.

Step 4

Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Place the octopuses along with the marinade. Fry, stirring, until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Finally, salt the seafood. I had salt in the mill along with Provençal herbs, so I didn’t additionally salt the octopuses. Remove the octopuses from the pan and dry.
