2 teaspoons corn or canola oil
1 medium onion -- finely chopped
2 large yellow boiling potatoes -- (about 1 lb)
-- Yellow Finn or Yukon Gold
-- peeled and cut into medium
-- size dice
2 cups canned chopped tomatoes

1 cup dry white wine
2 cups cold water
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped clams with
-- their juices
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves -- chopped
Heat the oil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes, tomatoes, wine, water, and thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover the saucepan, and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 20 minutes. Add the clams and cook 10 minutes longer. Add the parsley and serve.
Judi's notes: You can substitute canned clams here and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes. It will not be as good as fresh, but if you cannot find fresh clams it is still quite acceptable.
