As anyone who bakes bread, or brew wines and beers will know, yeast needs a moist, warm environment in which there is dissolved liquid sugar available (not salt). The yeast cells rapidly multiply as the yeast feeds off the sugar, and gives off carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. It is the carbon dioxide gas that will inflate the balloon. Salt would probably kill off the yeast.

Does salt and yeast inflate a balloon?
Live yeast can be used to inflate a balloon if you give the yeast something to ferment (such as sugar). They then produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that could inflate a balloon. You should not expect it to be buoyant, however, for CO2 is heavy as gases go (considerably heavier than air, for instance). The yeast cannot use salt for much of anything, however.
Will that make a balloon inflate?

How do you inflate a balloon underwater?
When you inflate a balloon, even on land, you pinch the mouth of the balloon shut to stop air escaping once you have run out of air. You can do the same thing underwater. Take a breath, dive under, and blow into the balloon, and pinch it when you run out of air. You could also use a snorkel, but you will need to make sure you leave enough air in your lungs to blow water out of the snorkel.
Do potatoes contain yeast?
No, potatoes definitely do not contain yeast. Yeast is a rising agent added to flour to help it rise - and that makes bread. But no, yeast is not made from potatoes and is a micro-organism, in fact a fungi, that's cultivated and is purchased in small packets which we then add to flour to make bread.
