Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel, cube and cook potato in just enough water to cover.

  2. Step 2

    Brown onion in two tablespoons butter.

  3. Step 3

    Add onion to potatoes with liquid from clams. Cook five minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add clams and cook seven to 10 minutes. Blend the flour with enough milk to make a thick paste. Add with clams, remaining milk, cream and remaining butter to potatoes and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until mixture thickens.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately, refrigerate or freeze. To serve reheat.

Tip
  • Chowder clams are large clams, too tough to eat raw. If they are not available, littlenecks or cherrystones can be substituted by using one-and-a-half to two times the amount.
