How do you correct too much salt in a recipe?

Answer

The only way I know of is to dilute it with more stuff, works great on a soup or stew, not so well on a casserole.

Add sliced or diced potatoes to take up the excess salt. Potatoes need salt in cooking to enhance the flavour, so when you add them to an over-salted dish they sop up the excess, diluting the taste in each serving. Works for me!
