Hello my dear readers,
Ready for another super easy but delicious recipe? If you like potatoes and if you like octopus, then this recipe is for you 😉
The warm octopus and potato salad is a dish that never goes out of style, a dish that exalts Mediterranean flavours with simplicity. Tender pieces of octopus and potatoes, fragrant and fresh parsley and finally the aromatic touch of a lemon that flavour this full-bodied salad, so rich and nutritious. Excellent to taste in all seasons when you fancy a simple and tasty fish dish.
Ingredients:
- baby octopus
- potatoes
- fresh chopped parsley
- lemon
- salt & pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
How to do it:
Start by cleaning and boiling the baby octopus, around 25-30 minutes. Once cooked, cut it in small pieces.
Then boil or steam your potatoes. I prefer to steam them in the microwave as is much faster. I usually don’t peel the potatoes, as we have seen, their peel contains fiber, flavonoids, antitumor properties and other nutrients, but if you don’t like it, you may just peel them.
For potatoes salads use white, Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, New or Fingerling potatoes, as are the best in retaining their shape. I have used Yukon Gold potatoes. Avoid using starchy potatoes, like Russets, which have a tendency to fall apart during cooking.
Once both the potatoes and baby octopus are ready, mix them together, add the fresh chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and season with salt & pepper and that’s it, your warm baby octopus and potato salad is ready to eat!
Enjoy!

That looks delicious 😋
Thank you!
This looks both delicious and also scary. I don’t know that I could ever bring myself to try it. I think I would be too scared.
Because of the baby octopus? 🙈
🤩😉
For the baby octopus? I must say that time ago it was too scary for me too, until I have tried it 😉 Is really worth it! 😋
Gonna try this one of these days. Thanks Ribana 🙂
Thank you Arlene! Is simple but very good 😉😋
I’ve had octopus before and it’s not my thing. I much rather have calamari. The salad looks good but I’m gonna pass on the octopus. 🤭
You’ve had Octopus? You are a lot more brave than I am!
When the day will come I guess you’ll like it 😉 or maybe not, as Hilary 😊
Yup. I’ve been exposed to a lot of Asian dishes and many of the delicacies include octopus.
😉 hi Hilary! For me is the opposite 😂
Well also a potato salad is not bad either 😉
Wish you a lovely weekend! 🤗
Potato salad works for me! Last time I tried making potato salad, nobody ate it because it had way too much vinegar and mayo in it. I used a recipe from Google….🤭
😃 I don’t mind vinegar though 😃
I think I used too much of it. Too much of a good thing I guess. 😅
For me vinegar is never too much 🤪 I’m a pickles lover 🤪
I am too, and the potato salad I made had pickles in it! 😓
It sounds perfection for me 😋😋😋
It looks so good! 😋 But whenever I think that it’s a baby I feel bad for it 🙁
Don’t think 😉 I do the same 🤪🤪
This is one of my favourite salads and its often served along the Med, though with the addition of black olives.
Very delicious indeed 😉 I’m glad you like it 😉 Thank you for stopping by!
What a lovely dish!
Thank you very much! Is really delicious! 😋
