Ingredient Checklist
½ cup chopped red onion
3 medium garlic cloves – chopped fine
3 cups peeled and chopped sweet potatoes
12 oz. riced cauliflower – fresh or frozen
1 cup vegetable broth – no sugar added
Salt to taste
Butter – to taste. I used vegan butter, but either will work. Optional, but tasty!
How To Make Cauliflower Sweet Potato Mash In An Instant Pot
Pour the oil into the IP insert and press the Saute button.
Add the onions and saute until the onions become translucent and slightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for about 30-60 additional seconds.
Press the off button and add in everything else to the onions. Stir and place the lid on the pot securely. Clove the vent as well.
Press the Manual button and adjust the time to 10 minutes.
When the cooking is done, do a quick release and remove the lid, opening away from you to avoid any steam burning your hand or arm.
Using a hand blender, blend the ingredients until smooth.
Season with a little salt and butter to your liking and serve.

Just wondering if you can do this with cauliflower florets….. Looks delicious!!!
Marie – Sure! It all gets blended in the end anyway. Enjoy! 🙂
Thank you!!!
How do you make this if you don’t have an Instant Pot?
Beth – I haven’t tried it, but I would roast everything in the oven and then blend with the broth.
This turned out to be more like a soup than a mash. Maybe I was supposed to use a steamer tray? Anyway, it still tasted good. I added parmesan cheese and seasoned with salt and pepper to taste.
Chrissy – Hmmm… was your cauliflower fresh or frozen?
