Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup, diced Pepperoni
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup, for serving Marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh basil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the russet potatoes. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
Mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pepperoni, flour, eggs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and shape it into a flat patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming all of the potato cakes before cooking.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the potato cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Transfer the cooked potato cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining cakes, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 6
Serve the pizza potato cakes warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
