Procedure

For the potatoes, peel them and cut them almost to the base, leaving them whole. Brush each slice with a little extra virgin olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and bake for about 30-35 minutes in a preheated oven at 180-200°C (350-400°F), or until crispy on the outside but soft on the inside.

Meanwhile, clean the octopus of its skin and serve half a potato with the octopus cut into large pieces and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.
