Adobo is considered as a signature Filipino dish. This particular recipe is different from the original basic recipe because of an additional ingredient, the potatoes.
During my childhood until the time that I reached adolescence, I never had pork adobo with something extra in it; I wanted it as basic as it can be – but extra garlic is always fine though. As I grew older and started to get curious about different Filipino Regional Dishes, I slowly accepted the idea that certain dishes can be cooked more than one way using different kinds of ingredients.
