To quote 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!’
