Pork Adobo with Potato Recipe

Pork Adobo is a popular Filipino Pork Recipe. The method of cooking this dish  is called “inadobo”. It is safe to call this inadobong baboy na may patatas.

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.

Pork Adobo with Potato might not be a regional dish. This can be the result of someone’s idea to stretch a family’s grocery budget by adding fillers such as potatoes. It can also be the product of a successful cooking experiment. The reason why this dish existed is not significant; what’s important is that it is here to stay.

I think that Pork Adobo with Potatoes is a successful dish because it has a well balanced flavor. The potatoes absorb the excess vinegar and salt making it as tasty as the meat. I usually eat this with a little rice to control my carbohydrate intake, since potatoes are also rich in carbs.
