Some people are quite surprised that the Chinese use potatoes in
their cooking. It is quite a common vegetable in southern China,
although not served the same way as the westerners do. Curry is the
most popular seasoning for potatoes. Another is 5 spice powder.

Cut off chicken wing tips and save for stock. Cut wings at joint.
Peel and cut potatoes into chunks and slice onion into small wedges.

In a heavy bottomed 3 qt sauce pot, heat 2 tb oil and brown ginger,
garlic, and chicken wings for 4 minutes. Add rest of ingredients
except green onions.

Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes on low heat.

Add the green onions the last 5 minutes.

Do Ahead Notes:

Cook early in the day. Chicken and potatoes taste better after
several hours in the sauce. It's great the next day.
