Potato Puffs

Likely that they are unhealthy as hell...but, they are definitely to die for.

*Boil potato's in the skin, figuring one large potato per person.
*After cooking, peel potato's while still warm.
*Add butter and sour cream (enough for a good flavoring).
*Add a bit of dry Ranch Mix for added taste.
*Blend together so that it makes a mashed potato consistency.
*Have a small bowl of buttermilk and another of standard breading at the ready.
*Scoop potato's into buttermilk and then into the breading, forming into balls.
*Deep fry to a golden brown and serve warm with butter or sour cream.
