Hot German potato salad with octopus
Serves 4

Ingredients

150 grams boiled octopus
3 boiled potatoes
1/2 onion
100 grams bacon
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 teaspoon salt
Coarsely ground pepper
2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Methods

1. Cut octopus into small bite-sized pieces. Cut boiled potatoes into quarters with skins, and slice into one-centimeter thick fan shapes. Cut onion into thin strips. Dice bacon into 5-millimeter cubes. Peel and finely chop garlic.

2. Pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into a skillet and add garlic. Heat over medium heat until garlic is slightly colored. Add onion and bacon and cook until onion becomes semitransparent. Add octopus and cook 1-2 minutes.

3. Remove onion, bacon and octopus mixture and set aside. In a clean skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until surface becomes crisp.

4. Add the onion, bacon and octopus mixture to the potatoes in the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, wine vinegar and whole-grain mustard and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. Serve on a plate, sprinkled with chopped fresh dill.
