Get PERFECT Instant Pot Mashed Cauliflower with these tips:
- Make sure to let the cauliflower cool 5-10 minutes (with the Instant Pot lid removed) before mashing. This helps extra moisture drip down (and helps it get extra creamy!), and makes it easier to handle
- If you are looking to prep a bigger batch, you could cook this in two batches, or you will need to chop your cauliflower into florets. This tutorial tells you how to cook it in florets.
- I used my trusty 6 quart Instant Pot; this recipe has not been tested in an 8 quart Instant Pot
