Fast fix for oversalted stew
Soups and stews tend to reduce during cooking, which is why it’s best to add salt toward the end. But if you discover that you’ve oversalted, here’s an easy fix: Toss a few raw peeled potato quarters into the pot. The potatoes’ porous texture will sop up the excess salt as they cook. Then simply remove them before serving, and your recipe will be just as delicious as always.
