If I understand right from an earlier post, you do have an F2 segregation going on.

Expect them to all be somewhat different, but to look like all the children of the 2 original varieties, which assuming your original seed source honestly sent you seed from a kelloggs breakfast tomato, but did not know that they were crossed.

So, you'll have kellogg's breakfast for their mom, and at this time, an unknown potato leaved dad. To help solve the mystery, I think you should ask your seed source who the possible dad could have been by asking what potato leaved variety did you grow near your kellogg's breakfast? My guess so far is stupice or something similar. clues for that guess is they are earlier and smaller than kb, and they are also very good flavored, at least the F1 was, and the F2's are segregating exactly true to form as F2's do, showing 25% with pl.

You might even start the conversation by thanking your seed source for the crossed seeds.

Another thing is: OPEN POLLINATED means just that. When left open to pollinate itself or with it's own variety, that does leave OPEN the possibility of CROSS pollinations. Hopefully with something good and desired!
