This Ruth’s Chris–inspired Creamy Cheddar Potato Casserole is the ultimate steakhouse side dish, delivering rich flavor and indulgent texture in every bite. Thinly sliced potatoes are layered with a luxurious cream sauce and generous amounts of sharp cheddar, then baked until bubbling and golden.
What makes this casserole unforgettable is its balance of richness and comfort. Russet potatoes become tender and velvety as they bake, soaking up the garlic-infused cream while still holding their structure. The combination of sharp and mild cheddar creates depth, meltability, and that signature steakhouse decadence.
This dish feels elegant enough for holidays and special occasions, yet comforting enough for a family dinner. Served alongside steak, chicken, or roasted meats, it instantly elevates the entire meal and always draws compliments.

Allowing the casserole to rest before serving is key. This short pause lets the sauce settle and the layers come together beautifully, giving you clean slices and perfectly creamy texture every time.
