Undersalted food is on the table, oversalted food is on your back, as the well-known saying goes.

If the unpleasant experience of oversalted soup happened to you, don’t blame yourself and pour the contents of the pot into the toilet.

Instead, listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova.

She found as many as 3 ways to save a dish with too much salt.

So, if the dish is supposed to be seasoned with sour cream before serving, consider it a done deal.

Just add a few spoons of this product (preferably medium fat) to everyone's plate and accept the praise for your culinary skills.

Another option is to use unseasoned croutons.

With this “add-on”, your family won’t even guess that the soup was oversalted.

Finally, the third life hack involves using the most ordinary potatoes.

The tuber, of course, should be peeled and cut in half, then placed in a saucepan on the fire.

The potatoes will soon absorb the excess salt.

Taste the dish from time to time: as soon as it becomes more or less acceptable, remove the pot of soup from the stove.
