How to Fix Oversalted Mashed Potatoes
If you notice that the potatoes are oversalted before you mash them, then throw them into water without salt and boil for a few minutes.
If the finished puree is oversalted, then there are several ways to neutralize the excess salt.
If the potatoes are not oversalted, add a little milk or sour cream to the puree. Lemon juice also removes excess salt, but in this case you need to make sure that instead of being oversalted, the dish does not become simply sour.
