Peel and dice the russet potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water over medium heat until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain the water and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni (reserve a few slices for topping if desired), flour, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the mixture forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
Divide the potato mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into flat patties about 3 inches wide.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite marinara or pizza dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
