Start by cooking the potatoes in butter, seasoning them with Cajun seasoning, white pepper, black pepper, and salt.

Chop the onions finely and sauté them in a separate pan with some bacon grease until soft.

Cook the bacon until crispy, then set aside.

Cut the shrimp into thirds and cook them in a little butter until they turn from purple to orange, then set aside.

Sauté the clams in butter to bring out their flavor, then set aside.

Make a roux by combining butter and cornstarch in a pan to thicken the sauce.

Add cream to the roux, mixing well to avoid lumps.

Combine the cooked potatoes, onions, shrimp, clams, and roux in a pot.

Add the remaining half-and-half and season to taste with additional seasoning.

Let the chowder simmer for about 45 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
