Thanks everyone.

I knew F2's and beyond could produce yellow and/or PL, just wasn't sure I wanted to go that far because of the time and space that would have to be dedicated to it. Was hoping for a nice find in the F1 and then decide what to do from there.
According to kdcomm, I would need to grow 16 plants to just find ONE yellow potato leaf...

Fred, 4 out of 5 flowers made fruit. Beginner's luck I guess...or they self pollinated.
I'm thinking (hoping) the cross did the pollinating, because when I pulled the anthers, none of the flowers were open, and they seemed pale to my eye. A couple even still had some green tint

Lee, I am not following. Wouldn't all the leaves be RL regardless of which was the mother since the OJ is RL and is dominant?
