1. Melt the butter in a frying-pan. Add the onion and potatoes and fry until the onion is soft.
2. Stir in the seasonings and clams and cook for 10 minutes, pressing down on the mixture occasionally. Stir gently to release some of the crust from the bottom and then press down.
3. Combine 50 g (2 oz) 1/2 cup of the cheese and the cream, and stir into the mixture. Cover and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
4. Top with the remaining grated cheese and crumbled bacon before serving.
