Hummus Mashed Potatoes

Hummus mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, made even more cozy with two flavorful and rich ingredients you will always add!

recipe originally published April 6, 2012

I have taken advantage of my recent wisdom tooth surgery to eat mashed potatoes. A whole bunch of them. It's been like Thanksgiving and Christmas over here. You know, napping on the couch all afternoon.

I have been cooking for my dad lately, in my attempt to have him eating healthy and fairly low sodium. One of his favorites is the meat loaf I have been making for him, and that meat loaf is always accompanied by these mashed potatoes.

While I obviously haven't tasted the meat loaf (it has had four positive reviews - my dad, his girlfriend, and my brother), I can vouch for these potatoes.

Thank you all for the well wishes - as I write this I am only in a minimum amount of pain, and think I'm done with the pain medication (never say never, but I don't like the haze it gives me!). In addition to these potatoes, I have been juicing like crazy, inventing new smoothie combinations, and... napping on the couch all afternoon.
