- Start by boiling your potatoes until tender. Once cooked, drain them and set aside.
- While the potatoes boil, prepare the garlic mayonnaise by blending garlic, milk, and olive oil until smooth. Adjust to taste and set aside.
- Next up, make the green ali oli: blend fresh parsley, green Basque hot peppers, and olive oil together until well combined.
- For the roasted red bell pepper sauce, blend roasted red peppers, walnuts, olive oil, salt, and pepper until creamy. Set this aside as well.
- Now, it's time to mash your potatoes! Infuse them with oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and salt to taste until smooth.
- In a hot pan, heat oil and add the pre-boiled octopus arms. Sear until crispy, and then carefully add a splash of cognac and ignite it for a flambé effect. Let the flames subside.
- Plate the crispy octopus alongside the creamy mashed potatoes and dollops of your three delicious sauces.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy your flavorful and visually stunning meal!
