Instructions:

    Step 1
  • In a large pot of boiling water, add the bay leaves and sea salt. Place the octopus in the pot, tentacles first. Cook for 45-60 minutes until tender. Test with a fork; it should be soft but not mushy.

  • Step 4
  • Arrange the potato slices on a serving platter. Place the octopus slices on top.

  • Step 6
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Step 7
  • Serve warm and enjoy this Galician delicacy!
