How do you remove the salty taste in frosting?

Answer 1

If you have over-salted meat or fish then you're out of luck. If you are making sauces, soups or stews then add one large peeled potato (the potato sucks up the extra salt.) Taste test (best way) and if it's still too salty leave the potato in the mixture for another 20 minutes or so until you get the taste you want. Then remove potato.

Answer 2

In frosting it is very difficult to remove a salty taste. Usually, to remove saltyness, the advice is to 'add sugar'. However frosting is primarily all sugar; adding more is unlikely to work. You may be able to disguise it, or use it to your advantage - for example, add melted Dark Chocolate, or make a "salted caramel frosting with/without peanuts". Both yummy.

Answer 3

If you have accidentally put too much salt in a dip there is no way to get it out. You can counterbalance it by adding sugar until it is the right flavor balance.

Answer 4

Add a flavour to the icing, eg... almond, peppermint or lemon. Lemon is especially efficient.
