These Ruth’s Chris–style mashed sweet potatoes are the ultimate expression of steakhouse indulgence. Ultra-smooth, buttery, and gently sweet, they are whipped until silky and finished with a crunchy pecan topping that adds texture and contrast in every bite.
Sweet potatoes naturally bring warmth and richness, and when combined with brown sugar, butter, and a touch of vanilla, they become luxuriously dessert-like without crossing into overly sweet territory. The result is balanced, comforting, and deeply satisfying.
What truly sets this dish apart is the pecan crunch topping. Toasted with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, it creates a caramelized layer that mimics the iconic Ruth’s Chris finish, adding both flavor and visual appeal.
Perfect alongside steak, pork, or holiday roasts, these mashed sweet potatoes feel special enough for celebrations yet simple enough to enjoy anytime you want a rich, comforting side.
