Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Dozen clams, shucked;
-reserve juice
1 lg Onion, diced
1/3 lb Good fatback, diced
3 md To 4 md potatoes, cubed

Render out the diced fatback (you can substitute bacon if you like,
but...) and fry until crisp. Remove pieces and reserve. Saute onions
in the grease. Add the potatoes and coat well. Add pepper and clam
juice, supplement with another can of clam juice. Cover and simmer

top with crisp bits of fatback or bacon.

This is the way they've made it down home for more than 100 years. It
ain't fancy, but oh my is it fine!
