Easy to make but I didn't like the flavour. - 1/5/09

I altered the recipe a little. I pureed 1/2 of the potatoes and cubed the other 1/2. I added Cayenne pepper which improves everything ;) I used canned clams which imparted a slight vinegar taste that probably isn't in the recipe. Next time I'll try fresh clams if I can find them in KS. - 12/4/07
