A ver si te salen buenas... why te??

1
vote

The original text is: A: El sábado ya probaste los tomates de mi huerto; pues ahora he recogido también patatas y cebollas. B: A ver si te salen buenas, los tomates estaban deliciosos, de verdad.

I understand "A ver si te salen buenas" means: let's see if those turn out to be good (correct me if I'm wrong please), but I do't understand why there is a "te" in between. Does it mean "good to you"? If so, it doesn't make much sense to me.

Thank you!!!

You're pretty close. "Let's see if they (the patatas y cebollas) turn out good/well/OK for you." There's a little mistake in the photo, it should say "Todo te va a salir bien"

Would it be ok to leave out ´te´? - Lisa_H, Jan 5, 2016
She highlighted the "a", that's what's missing from the legend o the pic. - chileno, Jan 5, 2016
"Te" has to stay that's the "for you" part. - Daniela2041, Jan 5, 2016

Yes, it is OK to leave out the te, but in this case no one is affected by the action so it becomes just a general statement. With the te, you are the one affected by the action.
