To the editor:

I read Margaret McKenzie’s article about her foray into making potato candy. My grandmother had made mashed potato candy for years, and it is one of my favorites. I don’t know where exactly it came from, but I was told that it was a “family” recipe (Grandma was born in 1911 in Iowa and I heard that her mother, Nellie Bowers, had passed it on to her).
