Mme. Benoit, "Grand-mere was a wizard with pumpkin. Her mashed potatoes
pumpkin french fried chips were super. It's amazing how most of what we
enjoyed in our youth remains a pleasure as we grow older. In the autumn of
1959 I made these on my television show. The amount of mail requesting the
recipe was unbelievable!"
