Tammy's Notes:
I am a native of Massachusetts and lived there for 50 years. When it comes to clam chowder, I know what it needs to taste like. So here I give you an authentic New England Clam Chowder recipe, the way it's supposed to taste. This is a favorite in my house. It's simply delicious.

Cook 2 chopped large onions in the bacon grease till translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 3 cups of water and 5lbs. of diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
