Place a steamer basket in the Instant Pot and arrange 24 oz cauliflower on top. Add 1 cup water to the pot. Close the lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on the “Steam” setting for 15 minutes.
Perform a quick release of the steam. Roughly mash the cauliflower with a masher for 5 minutes.
Stir 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tsp minced garlic, 0.5 oz parmesan cheese, 1 tbsp heavy cream, 1/2 tbsp sour cream, and 1 tbsp olive oil into the roughly-mashed cauliflower. Cook on the “Sauté” setting for 1 minute.
Turn off the Instant Pot. Mash the cauliflower into a purée with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
Portion out onto serving platters. Taste and season with 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley, and 1/4 tsp paprika. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 tbsp olive oil on top and enjoy.
