Did you add too much salt when cooking? Don’t add water — do this instead:

It happens to all of us: you’re cooking a stew, soup, or rice… and accidentally add too much salt. The first thing many people do is add water, but that only dilutes the flavors and ruins the texture of the dish.

The real solution? Use an ingredient that balances the flavor without ruining the recipe. Here’s what to do 👇

✅ The trick: Add a peeled raw potato
The potato absorbs excess salt without altering the flavor of the dish too much.

How to do it:

Peel a raw potato.

Add it whole (or halved) to the stew or soup.

Let it cook for 15–20 minutes.

Remove it before serving.
