Outer Banks Style Clam Dish

Description

Potatoes and clams in broth are served with crispy bits of fatback sprinkled over the top. If good fatback is hard to find in your area, you may substitute with 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!

Ingredients

  • ⅓ pound fatback, diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 medium red potatoes, diced
  • 1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 24 shucked clams, with liquid
