Follow The Directions

01

Step
6 mins

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Melt butter in the pot and add garlic. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add cauliflower; stir until cauliflower is coated in butter and starting to become tender, about 5 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

Add broth. Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure and set timer for 5 minutes. Allow time for pressure to build.

03

Step
8 mins

Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for about 3 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

04

Step
2 mins

Mash cauliflower using a potato masher or stick blender. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of regular butter.
Experiment with different herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or nutmeg.
If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use other hard cheeses like Pecorino Romano or Asiago.
