1/2 cup white wine vinegar

Add 2 potatoes to a pot of cold water and boil until just tender. Drain and dice into 1-inch cubes. Remove the cooled octopus from the water and place it on a cutting board, slice the tentacles into 1-inch pieces and the head into small squares. In a serving bowl mix together the octopus, potatoes, fresh parsley and remaining garlic. Season the octopus mixture with a generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and finish with some lemon juice.
