<h2>How To Make Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes</h2>
If you’re using an Instant Pot, simply cook the cauliflower head with the chicken stock and garlic for just 3 minutes or just enough to steam up the cauliflower. Don’t throw away the chicken stock after since you will be using this later when mixing the cauliflower mash later. 
You can use a food processor or a blender to pulse the cauliflower florets. When the cauliflower is all loose and  has a rough grainy in texture, add in some of the chicken stock and the remaining ingredients and pulse through again until well combined and you get an almost smooth texture. Serve it with some more parmesan cheese or any of your favorite garnish.
