Steps //

1. 01 Cube the potatoes with the skin on and microwave 8 minutes. Why Cooking them through first means the pan only has to brown them.
2. 02 Heat olive oil in a pan and fry the garlic over medium heat until fragrant.
3. 03 Add the cooked potatoes, brown the outsides, season with salt and pepper and set aside. Kill the heat and dust with paprika powder. Why Add the paprika powder off the heat or it burns.
4. 04 In the same pan, add olive oil and butter and cook the octopus over medium-low.
5. 05 Baste with the butter until the surface is tender, then season with salt and pepper.
6. 06 Add plenty of paprika powder, push the octopus aside and toss the potatoes and garlic through the pan.
7. 07 Finish with lemon juice. Why Do not waste the sauce left in the pan — spoon it over.
