If you bought a potato salad would you expect potato?

I make my own potato salad, at least every other week.
To me potato salad does not contain cheese.

I usually make my own too, also without cheese 🧀 but with baby potato ….

It’s not something I’d normally buy but there was a nice choice of things to choose from and it look like a posh potato salad and certainly didn’t taste bad. I had some hula hoops with my bit.

There is certainly none of it left 🤣

Commercial potato 'salad' is usually an economy-driven method for using up the factory left-overs. The sloppy gunk described as mayonnaise/dressing disguises a multitude of questionable sins.

Its a potato maybe under an inch to 2 inches long depending on the particular packet you buy.

They are handy grumppa as I have found they microwave well with a bit of butter, salt and half inch of water in the microwave. So living alone I cook a couple of days, easy peasy, no peeling needed, fry up or grill top the second day.

What on earth is a baby potato?

I’d take it back and get a refund.

Could the baby potato element be pureed mash ie smoothed potato as your son suggests?

The label is ambiguous as it doesn't say what form the baby potatoes come in.

The picture does show a puree to me not whole potatoes.

It states 'baby potatoes' not pureed or mashed potatoes so I think there should be actual identifiable baby potatoes in the product.

As its been eaten, could be tricky Rosie

I assume there will be a batch number or similar?? They will at least confirm or deny whether or not actual identifiable 'baby potatoes' should be present in the product.

Baby potatoes in a creamy four cheese mayonnaise
Ha ha! YES it requires baby potatoes in it!

The ingredients list shows the principal ingredient is baby potatoes (47%).
Therefore, it should contain potatoes!

It disappeared before I can read the ingredients so I reckon it's been withdrawn because there were no potatoes in it!

I'd be contacting Tesco to ask if yours was from a faulty batch. It clearly says baby potatoes in a creamy four cheese mayonnaise which indicates there should be baby potatoes in there.

It's a potato salad so yes, it should have had potatoes in it. In fact, it says 'baby potatoes' in the ingredients.

Why would your son think a potato salad, with potatoes in the description, isn't meant to have potatoes in it?

The mind boggles.

Yep it says baby potatoes so I would expect to see some!

it was lovely btw I just want to settle a discussion with my son
