2020 left a lot of people feeling anxious about the future. Seeking comfort in food has been the norm lately, as many food-related trends have taken the social media world by storm.

TimeOut recently released a study that determined what each state's most favorite comfort food is.

To determine the list, the site selected 100 foods that people usually classify as "comfort food" and then used Google Trends to figure out which selections were the most popular in each state last year.

So what was Utah's favorite comfort food?

Mashed Potatoes provided the most comfort to Utah residents in 2020. Utah wasn't the only one, however, North Dakota also took comfort in the starchy goodness.

Chicken and waffles, pot roast, and chili were the favorites of Utah's neighbor states.
