Chop bacon into bits and cook in a saucepan. Brown until the bacon is crispy. Once the bacon is crispy, remove it and set it aside. (Leave bacon fat in the pan.) Finely dice shallot and sauté for 5 minutes in the remaining bacon grease. After 3 minutes, add garlic and sauté for the remaining 2 minutes. Then add flour and cook another 1-2 minutes.

Once the potatoes are done, remove the bay leaf and add the clams and bacon. Then cook for 3-5 minutes. Serve
