Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups chopped cauliflower florets

- 2 large cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
- 2 cups chicken broth (or water)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 cup Cottage cheese, blended smooth
Instructions
- Put cauliflower, potatoes, garlic, and broth in the Instant Pot.
- Choose the Manual setting, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile use an immersion blender to blend the cottage cheese until it’s smooth, with no visible curds.
- Once the instant pot beeps, release the pressure and drain the veggies in a colander
- In a large bowl add the veggies, cottage cheese, and butter. Do a “rough mash” with a potato masher or a big fork. Add some seasoning to taste.
- Use the hand held mixer or immersion blender to blend the potatoes until smooth and fluffy. Adjust salt and pepper or add extra seasonings if desired.
Notes
- don't skip the cottage cheese, it's key to thick and fluffy potatoes.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese in a regular blender or food processor.
