It happens to the best of us. We are chugging along in our kitchen preparing a nice dish, adding just the right herbs and spices to make our meal tasty. Oops! It seems that we accidentally added too much salt into our recipe. Is it ruined? Not if you know this awesome kitchen idea.

If you ever over salt a dish while you are still cooking it, all you need is a peeled potato to fix it. Put it the pot, and the potato will quickly absorb any excess salt, restoring your dish to the flavor you had in mine when you were preparing it.
