A term of art in the theatrical world. Any combination of ingestible fruit (optimally chopped apples) and dairy products (optimally yogurt) combined to give the impression of potato salad on stage.
Michael's show included an eating scene, so he concocted some fauxtato salad to make it easier to swallow before his next scene.

A more descriptive word for those powdered type of potatoes that somehow approximate the real thing, but usually take a lot of butter and magic to do so. Usually found in mashed form only.
