Step 1
Cut potatoes into fries, soak in water 5 minutes, then pat completely dry.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry potatoes in batches until golden, 8–10 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; season with salt.
Step 3
In the same skillet (no cleaning needed), layer 2 bread slices with pepperoni, mozzarella, and another slice of bread. Butter the outsides generously.
Step 4
Lower heat to medium. Pan-fry each sandwich until bread is golden and cheese is melted, 3–4 minutes per side. Watch for sizzle and golden crust.
Step 5
Transfer sandwich to a cutting board. Drizzle hot honey over the top, then slice in half diagonally.
Step 6
Serve hot with fries on the side.
