- 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes

- 5 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- salt and ground black pepper to taste

- Melt butter in a stockpot over medium-high heat; cook and stir salt pork, celery, onion, and garlic in melted butter until softened, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes, clam juice, tarragon, celery salt, and bay leaves to the stockpot. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and place a cover on the pot. Cook at a simmer until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes.
