Stir-fry onion in drippings for 5 - 8 minutes until pale golden, add potatoes, water, clam liquid and salt pork. Cover and simmer 10 - 12 minutes until potatoes are nearly tender, stirring occasionally. Add clams, milk, cream, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes to heat through; do not boil.
