It has to do with hypertonicity between cells. The concentration of water in salt water is lower than the concentration of water inside the potato. So water will move out of the potato and in to the salt water to create equilibrium, causing the potato to shrink.
When you put Aids with a potato it makes Chylmidia, hope this helps.
So it can have flavour
That the potatoes do get soggy the longer it sat in salt water
Add the salt to the water before you add the potatoes. If you are boiling potatoes with the intention of mashing them, don't add salt at all.
If you water your potatoes with salt water they will die. Don't water anything with salt water. Plants require fresh water.
Old potatoes can be rehydrated by mainataining in water 24 hours. Salt water increase the content of sodium in potatoes but it is not important.
This rinses some of the starch out of the potatoes, which allows them to be lighter and crisper -- less soggy.

depends.
No, just make sure they are totally under water and under refrigeration
Potatoes
In fresh water it will swell in salty one it will shrink
The potatoes become flacid because the salt water drins out the moisture from the cells of the potatoes. This process is called exo-osmosis . The cells lose their turgidity and hence the potatoes become flacid :)
