Yes. Peeling the potato and halving it will speed the process.
Yes, the potato will absorb a little of the salt.
yes, can reduce salinity of soups, etc.
If you are making soup and you made it too salty, add potatoes. The potatoes starch will help draw out the salt and mellow it down!! For a big pot of soup I would suggest 4-5 potatoes!
True. In fact, if you have inadvertently added too much salt to the soup, adding a few potatoes may absorb enough salt to make the soup palatable. Plus, potato soup is a good thing in itself.
My grandmother would put a few potatoes in the soup to remove the excess salt. Some people use carrots.
By adding in potatoes into your soup it will help tone it down!!!
Potatoes can remove too much salt from soup via osmosis - add a peeled potato to the soup and simmer until it tastes less salty. Remove the potato before serving. To remover sourness or bitterness, adding some sugar will generally improve taste.

cook raw potatoes in the sauce
Take 2 large potatoes, peel and put them in whole into whatever you are making. The potatoes will absorb the salt. It may be possible to "thin" the salt out by adding water or stock and then "re-thickening" with corn starch and water to restore consistency. A bit more seasoning (other than the salt) may be required.... Bon appétit! You can also add some bread to absorb some of the liquid, remove bread and then add either red currant or cranberry jelly to the gravy this is both tart and sweet and works well in most brown stocks or gravies
To remove excess salt from a recipe (especially easy with soup), drop a whole, peeled potato in. As it cooks the potato will absorb lots of the salt and some of the extra saltiness will be removed when you take the potato out.
When you mix distilled water with salt and soup, the result is dilute soup.
