Instant Pot Ruth’s Chris Copycat Potatoes

If you’ve ever been to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse you know how good the food is! You also know that it is not cheap. No sireee! Oh man that bill at the end of dinner might give you a heart attack. For one serving of their delicious potatoes you’ll pay $12. If you’re looking for the delicious taste of Ruth’s Chris au gratin potatoes but not the high price you can make these at home for your family for less than you’d pay for one serving.

These are very simple and only have a few ingredients but the flavor is so good! They are creamy and cheesy and comforting. You’ll love eating these cheesy potatoes with steak, ham, pork chops, turkey or chicken. You can easily double this recipe if you’d like to make a big batch. You can also easily halve the recipe if you’re cooking for two.

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Russet potatoes–you can also use another type of potato like Yukon gold or red potatoes
• Butter–you can also use olive oil to sauté the onions in
• Onion–I used yellow onions but you can also use white onions or a shallot
• Garlic clove–I used fresh garlic and it was such a big part of the overall flavor of the potatoes. I like using a garlic press*.
• Evaporated milk–or heavy cream
• Better than Bouillon Chicken Base–or chicken bouillon
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• Parmesan cheese–freshly grated is best
• Sharp cheddar cheese–or another cheese you like

Steps

1. Prepare potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice the potatoes 1/8 inch thick. Add the potatoes into a steamer basket. Pour 1 ½ cups water into bottom of Instant Pot. Lower the steamer basket into the Instant Pot.
2. Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 1 minute. When time is up move valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
3. Remove the steamer basket and set it aside. Dump out the water and dry out the Instant Pot liner. 
4. Sauté onions: Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the butter and let it melt. Add in the onions. Sauté onions until they are soft and translucent. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
5. Pour in the the milk/cream and the chicken base. Stir until chicken base has dissolved. Fold in the potatoes, salt and pepper. Turn off Instant Pot.
6. Get cheesy: Sprinkle the cheeses on top and place an air fryer lid on top. Bake at 350° F for 3 minutes, until cheese is melted. 
7. Serve and enjoy. Garnish with parsley, if desired.

Notes/Tips

• These potatoes taste great as a side dish to steak, pork chops, chicken, ham, etc. Serve alongside a side salad and some steamed vegetables.
• I used my 6 quart Duo Crisp Instant Pot*. If you don’t have an air fryer lid you can finish this recipe up in the oven. Or you can cover the Instant Pot with the normal lid and set it to keep warm setting until cheese has melted.
• I like to use a digital scale* to measure potatoes and other ingredients for accuracy.
• You can double or halve this recipe. Keep the same cooking time and keep the same amount of water below the steamer basket.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I don’t recommend freezing this dish.
• This recipe can be gluten-free. Use a gluten-free chicken base.
