Ingredients

24 shucked clams with the liquid

1 diced large onion

4 medium-sized red potatoes (diced)

fatback - 1/3 lb (diced)

1 bottle clam juice (8 oz)

black pepper to taste (freshly ground)

Directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook fatback until crispy, then remove pieces and set aside. Lower heat to medium and add onion. Fry onions in the fatback grease until they are soft. Stir in potatoes, taking care they are well-coated with fatback grease. Season with lots of pepper. Next, pour in liquid from the clams, and the bottle of clam juice. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Chop the clams into pieces while the potatoes are simmering. During the last 3 minutes, add the clams to potatoes. Serve: in deep bowls with the crispy bits and pieces of fatback sprinkled over the top.
