TOO MUCH SALT

So you have over salted your soup, casserole or whatever you are preparing. Just add a slice or two of raw potato. Potato absorbs salt.....a good mash for instance needs a decent seasoning of salt. You can also use any starchy carb like pasta or rice to reduce the saltiness. OR you could add a teaspoon of brown sugar. Why would this work ? Because brown sugar overrides our preception of saltiness. To prove my point, just think about salted caramels, the sweet carmel flavour overrides the salt.
