Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. leftover mashed potatoes

1 large egg, beaten

2 t. onion, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. italian seasoning

1/2 tsp. dried basil

12 pieces sliced pepperoni, diced up

1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

3 t. all purpose flour

bacon grease or vegetable oil

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Heat enough bacon grease or oil, over med. high heat, to cover the bottom of a cast iron skillet.

2. Once heated, drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the pan and flatten out just a tad and reduce the heat to medium. Working in batches, fry them for approx. 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove to a paper sack or paper towel to drain and continue with remaining potatoes.

Bon Appetit!
