💡 extra TIPS
- For more tender meat, place the octopus in a pot over low heat without adding water (it will release its own juices). Cook for 45–60 minutes until tender. It will turn out more flavorful and less watery.
- For a smoother potato cream, use yellow-fleshed potatoes: they are creamier and less starchy.
