These steakhouse-style garlic mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort side, rich, silky, and unapologetically indulgent. Inspired by the ultra-creamy potatoes served at Ruth’s Chris, this recipe delivers smooth texture and deep flavor in every bite.
Roasted garlic is the star here. Slowly baked until soft and golden, it adds a mellow sweetness that blends seamlessly into the potatoes without any harsh bite. Combined with plenty of butter and warm cream, the result is luxurious and perfectly balanced.
Russet potatoes are essential for achieving that classic steakhouse texture. They break down easily and absorb fat beautifully, creating mashed potatoes that are light, fluffy, and velvety rather than dense or gummy.
