Step 1
Toss potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast at 425°F for 12 minutes until edges start to brown.
Step 2
Pat octopus dry and cut into bite-size pieces. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add octopus to the skillet, breaking up pieces. Brown for 3 minutes until edges curl and surface looks opaque.
Step 4
Stir in garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add wine and crushed tomatoes.
Step 5
Simmer sauce 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Fold in the roasted potatoes and toss to coat, then turn off heat.
Step 6
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and finish with a pinch of sea salt. Serve warm from the skillet.
