Octopus cooked in slow cooker (crockpot) with sweet potatoes

Place the whole octopus once thawed into the bowl. Without any water or broth. Only the octopus with two bay leaves. In my case, 1.3 kilos for three people.

Program 3 hours or 3:15 on high temperature. In the meantime, roast the sweet potato in the oven or steam it in the microwave in cubes

Mash the roasted sweet potato with a potato masher, season with salt and pepper and place on a plate as a base for the octopus.

Serve the octopus on top. Sprinkle with sweet paprika and a little spicy paprika, salt flakes and drizzle with olive oil.

EXTRA BALL: The octopus will release a lot of broth that you can use for a spectacular fish rice.
