We decided to combine the sea and land of Mexico, to put together two typical ingredients. We make a gratin from potatoes - we thinly slice the potatoes, put them in layers and bake in the oven. With octopus it's a little more complicated: it must be boiled for an hour to an hour and a half with herbs. The combination of potatoes and octopus is familiar to Mexicans, here we just made this dish a little more beautiful, adding onion cream and tomato salsa to it. Recipe by Dmitry Kishov, chef of the tacobar restaurant.
