Instant Pot Mashed Cauliflower
Instant Pot Mashed Cauliflower is a delicious side dish. This is an easy and fast recipe to make.
Servings: 4 - 6 (1/2 cup)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water (for the pressure cooker)
- 1 large head Cauliflower, chopped
- ¾ teaspoon Coarse Salt (or ½ tsp table salt, to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Butter (or more to taste)
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
Optional (use any or all!)
- Roasted Garlic Cloves, to taste
- ¼ cup Sour Cream
- ½ cup Bacon (cooked & chopped)
- More Parmesan to taste
- ¼ cup Chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Pour the water into the inner liner pot of the pressure cooker. Place a steamer basket or trivet in the pot. If using a steamer basket, use one that can hold the entire amount of cauliflower, otherwise, cut the cauliflower slightly larger and put it directly on the trivet.
- Add the chopped cauliflower and place the lid on and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial and then the +/- button or dial to select 4 minutes. High pressure. When the cook time is finished, turn off the pot and do a quick release of the pressure/steam.
- Remove the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and mash it with a potato masher. Some people like to use an immersion blender, or hand mixer. Whatever you want to use is fine.
- Add the salt, pepper, and butter. Mix well.
- Add the parmesan and mix well.
- Add any other extras you like, mix them in, and serve immediately.
