Bring to a boil and simmer for half hour 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.

Curry is the most popular seasoning for potatoes. Another is 5 spice powder.
