Meet Au Gratin, International Spy
Au Gratin is the potato for reconnaissance. He knows how to blend with people, and potatoes, from all walks of life. Need information? Just call him.
Au Gratin prefers to avoid combat where he can. Get in, get the information, and get out. That’s his goal. However, when push comes to shove, he won’t back down. Since he knows he’s not the strongest, he opts for a stealthy gun hidden in the end of his cane. Not only does it help him with walking, it could very well be the deciding factor in life vs death for him.
Of course, some jobs may require a little more muscle. For this, he goes to his right-hand man Crinkle.

Crinkle
Crinkle is a simple potato. He’s another member of the Seven Man Army and the one you call for pure, raw strength. Need a boulder moved? Call Crinkle. He has a slight drooling problem, but he just can’t help it.
Crinkle is the strongest potato in the group. He doesn’t have the same fiery temper as certain othermembers...but doesn’t mean he’s any less passionate. He follows Au Gratin along to assist where the planning potato lacks, muscle. Don’t let his looks fool you. While Crinkle may not be a scholar, he’s no dummy either. He’s also fiercely loyal to his friends and won’t let any harm befall them if he can help it.
If he ever goes missing, just follow the blue trail. Hey, at least it’s not a yellow trail.
