When Danville was under a severe shortage of potatoes, and Isabella was unable to create her Nana's Latkes, Phineas decided to use the last potato chip the Buford had to create a large amount of cloned potatoes. After Phineas and Ferb created a machine, known as Spuds-a-lot, they placed the potato chip in the machine, and created a large amount of potatoes. However, as soon as they were completed, Isabella noticed that the potatoes had eyes. Baljeet replied that all potatoes have eye, but Isabella said that the eyes are blinking. The Potatoes jumped out of ground, with arms, legs and mouth. It turned out that Buford placed the potato chip in his mouth, with caused Buford's DNA to mix with the potatoes, resulting in the creation of the Potato Gremlins.
