      Steps

      1
      Done

      Freezing Octopus Tenderizes It. No Need to Beat It. Blanch the Thawed Octopus in Boiling Water For One Minute. Drain. Bring Another Pan of Water to a Boil With the Slice of Onion and the Bay Leaves. Add the Octopus and Let It Cook at a Simmer For About One Hour. It Should Be Tender, Just a Little Chewy. Remove and Let It Cool Slightly. When Cool Enough to Handle, Slide Off the Pinkish Skin and Discard. (optional. Many Prefer to Leave the Skin.)

      2
      Done

      Cut the Potatoes in Half and Add Them to the Same Water in Which the Octopus Cooked and Cook Them Until Tender. With Scissors, Cut the Octopus Into Bite Size Pieces. Arrange Them on Wooden Plates With the Potatoes. Sprinkle With Salt, Paprika, Garlic, and Drizzle With the Oil. Serve.
