No, the potatoes were the perfect addition to this too salthy soup,
along with just another quart of plain water, which the then too thick
soup faired well with. So, plain water and lots of fresh potato slices
did exactly what was needed. The Marines were happy that there was
more than I'd intended, so they ordered me to refrigerate the last
third of it there, for tomorrow's "seconds" that already have names
assigned to them.
