Image may contain Animal Invertebrate Clam Sea Life Seashell Cutlery and Spoon

New potatoes are freshly dug and have tender skins; wash them gently so that they don't tear. If they're hard to find, any small potato or fingerling variety will work.

Ingredients

6 Servings

3

tablespoons olive oil

4

ounces smoked Spanish chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1

1/2 pounds small new potatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick

1

bunch spring onions or scallions, whites halved and sliced; greens sliced on a diagonal, divided

4

garlic cloves, thinly sliced

1

cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris)

5

pounds littleneck clams, scrubbedt

Toasted bread (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add chorizo and cook, stirring often, until some fat has rendered and chorizo begins to crisp, about 4 minutes.

    Step 2

    Add potatoes, spring onion whites, and garlic. Cook, tossing often, until potatoes are crisp-tender, 10-12 minutes. Add wine and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups water and continue to cook until potatoes are just tender, 5-8 minutes longer.

    Step 3

    Add clams and half of onion greens, cover pot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until clams have opened, 8-10 minutes (discard any clams that do not open).

    Step 4

    Divide clam mixture among bowls. Top with remaining onion greens and serve with toast.
