Directions

Turn on your Instant Pot to the sauté setting. Melt the butter and toss in the garlic, cooking it just until you can smell that lovely aroma, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower and give it a good stir so it’s coated in butter and begins to soften, which should take around 5 minutes. Pour in the broth, then close and lock the lid. Set the pot to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it some time to come up to pressure first. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally for about 3 minutes, then carefully switch to quick release to let out any remaining steam. Open the lid and mash the cauliflower right in the pot using a potato masher or an immersion blender. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
