Presumably you then removed and discarded the potatoes hoping they had
absorbed some of the excess salt. I'd be interested in whether you
think this actually worked, as I've previously seen both this tip and
debunkings of it. Dilution with additional liquid is the only thing
I've ever found that works, and that obviously can't be used in many
cases. -aem
