Ruth’s Chris–Style Yukon Gold Potato Purée

This Yukon Gold Potato Purée is the definition of classic steakhouse indulgence. Inspired by the famous Ruth’s Chris version, these potatoes are exceptionally smooth, deeply buttery, and luxuriously creamy, making them a standout side dish for any special meal.

Yukon Gold potatoes are the key to achieving this texture. Their naturally rich flavor and creamy interior create a purée that feels refined and elegant without the need for complicated ingredients. When paired with warm cream and melted butter, the result is pure comfort with a polished finish.

What separates this dish from everyday mashed potatoes is technique. Using a potato ricer or food mill eliminates lumps and ensures a silky consistency that melts in your mouth. Each bite is light, smooth, and perfectly balanced.
