Loaded mashed "Potatoes" (Cauliflower) in the InstantPot

Every so often I see these great loaded mashed potatoes videos. And as yummy as they are, I don't really like the carb overload.

Frankly, I LOVE mashed cauliflower. I have preferred it for years to mashed potatoes.

One day after watching a loaded mashed potato video, I decided to make a mashed cauliflower version.

What makes this recipe amazing is this stuff:

I am not a yogurt fan, nor and I really into ranch dressing normally . But this OPA ranch dressing is amazing. It is gluten free, MSG free, made from Greek yogurt. All around amazing great stuff.

So to make mashed cauliflower, I cook the entire head of cauliflower, but you can cut into pieces if you desire. This time I used a steamer and added 2 cups of water. But in the past I have used the trivet.

So I cook the head at pressure for 4 minutes, with the valve closed, and do a quick release.

I then moved the cauliflower to a serving bowl, and mash with about 2 tablespoons of the OPA ranch, 1/2 a cup of cheddar cheese, a spoonful of ginger garlic paste, and butter, salt and pepper to taste.

To make this even more like loaded potatoes you can add bacon and chives.
