Filipino chicken adobo with potatoes

Great food to enjoy on a snowy day. Using a large Dutch oven, sauté a sliced onion in some canola oil. When slightly wilted, add about 6 garlic cloves (sliced), being careful not to burn them. When fragrant, add about 3 skinless chicken quarters, cut into three pieces (drum, thigh with bone, thigh without bone), and lightly season with salt and black pepper. Pour in ¾ cup soy sauce and 1 ¼ cup white vinegar. Add a bay leaf (optional). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer, cooking until chicken is halfway cooked (about 20 mins). At this point, you can add two large Idaho potatoes, peeled and cut along a diagonal into ½ inch slices. Continue to simmer, covered, until chicken and potato are tender. Serve with rice. (Feb. 2015)
