Italian fried dough is typically called "Zeppole" or" St Joseph's Cakes". You can find info on this type of Italian fried dough at

It is also referred to as fritters and they are made a bit like donuts without holes. Go to this site for info

I came across a Paluccis Pizza Restaurant in Cayuga, Indiana.
Perhaps your mom referred to the fried dough by their name because she made it like they did? I have never heard of fried dough referred to by that name.
Another way Italians make fried dough is in the shape of mini pizzas. They are about 4 or 5" across and you can put sauce and cheese on them for dinner or ground beef or even sausage.
