Hot potato

At Ruth's Chris Steak House, an entire section of your menu is devoted to potatoes, and one of my favorites is our sweet potato casserole. With sweet potatoes and pecans, this simple, yet decadent dish is the perfect side to any fall meal and'll wow friends and family when accompanied by a Thanksgiving turkey.

One of the best flavors of fall, the sweet potato is versatile. In this simple recipe, its natural sweetness and soft texture shines through, and the color is incredibly vibrant. A hearty vegetable, the sweet potato is filled with vitamins and nutrients. One serving has nearly 800 percent of the recommended daily value of Vitamin A, 65 percent of Vitamin C and is filled with fiber.

Sweet potato's natural sugars blended with the addition of sugar, brown sugar and vanilla make sweet potato casserole quite a treat. One of my favorite ways to enjoy sweet potato casserole is for dessert, served a la mode with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. In fact, we often have numerous Ruth's Chris regulars who request their sweet potato casserole this way as a sweet end to their hearty steak dinner.

Whether or not you serve sweet potato casserole with dinner or dessert, it is one dish that is simple, delicious and sure to please a crowd -- just in time for the holidays.

If you prefer to take a break from the kitchen this Thanksgiving, order our sweet potato casserole and any of our different delicious sides to go with a 48-hour advance notice. You could join us at any of the four metro Atlanta locations on Thanksgiving Day and enjoy our regular dinner menu in addition to a traditional turkey dinner. SP
