Warm mashed potatoes in a slow cooker: It helps save on stove and oven space. It can also be used for stuffing/dressing. Save over-salted soup or sauces: 

#2

Keep raw cut potatoes from going gray: Cover them in cold water. They will last until the next day, but will lose some of their water-soluble vitamins. However, this is great for Thanksgiving preparation.

How to correct over-salted soups: Put a raw potato in over-salted soup or sauces to soak up some of the extra salt.

Revive wilted produce: Don’t throw it away. Put it in ice water for 15 to 20 minutes. It will stiffen it up again. To keep your veggie tray crisp before an event, cover with a damp paper towel and wrap with plastic. It can be stored that way for up to 12 hours.

Keep slime away in refrigerator produce drawer: Place several layers of paper towels in the bottom of the produce drawer of your refrigerator.
