Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot to help remove excess moisture.
Add unsalted butter, heavy cream, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
To assemble the Mashpotinis, scoop the mashed potatoes into martini glasses using an ice cream scoop for a clean presentation.
Sprinkle the top of the mashed potatoes with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives as garnishes.
Optional: Drizzle each Mashpotini with warm gravy for an extra indulgent touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this fun and delicious comfort food!
