How to make Galician octopus with potatoes in an express pot:
- Before starting to make this octopus a fire with potatoes in an express pot, we present the ingredients. Remember that these quantities are for 4 diners.
- Peel and wash the potatoes that we are going to use. As one of them was very very large, we decided to cut it in two to make the octopus in an express pot even faster.
- Now we are going to proceed directly to cook the octopus in a pressure cooker, but we are going to do it with the potatoes as well. Thus, the water released by the octopus with the salt included, is absorbed by the potato.
- We will not even need water, we will cook it as it is to save cooking time for the octopus.
- Cover the pressure cooker and let it come to pressure. Once the valve or the corresponding indicator has the two marks on top, we leave the fire on for 5 more minutes and after five minutes, we cut it and let it maintain the pressure with the heat of the kitchen.
- Open the pot only when it is completely cold to avoid the risk of burning.
- We take out and cut the potatoes into sheets as if it were for a plate of potatoes to the poor; we use them as a bed for the octopus and salt them. On top we have the portions of octopus.
- Season well our Galician octopus dish with potatoes in an express pot, being generous with both ingredients. If you are going to eat it immediately, drizzle with plenty of extra olive oil and if you have prepared it for later, cover it with transparent film and keep it in the fridge without seasoning, neither with salt nor with paprika or oil, so that it does not soak the potato ahead of time Bo provided!
