Emily is right to say that mashed potatoes fall under the comfort food category. But what makes mashed potatoes so appealing? Is it their buttery flavor and creaminess, two qualities that french fries and baked potatoes lack? Or maybe it’s their fluffy texture and the way they taste great with just about anything? If you’re like Emily from Tomato Kumato, then you probably appreciate the creamy smoothness usually associated with mashed potatoes.

But Emily’s Mustard-Chive Mashed Potatoes don’t just call for a few heaping tablespoons of butter; the secret ingredient in her recipe is yogurt, and lots of it. Dijon mustard and chives add a savory flavor to the mashed potatoes, but there’s no doubt that the yogurt makes Emily’s recipe extra unique and delicious. Yogurt also offers many health benefits, so if you find yourself low on butter or in need of a butter-replacement, consider using yogurt. After all, it is the key ingredient in what seems to be Emily’s new favorite comfort food :).
