Soak some Potatoes

Slice a small potato lengthwise into several pieces that each have two flat sides. Place some of the pieces in one dish and the rest in another. Fill both dishes with water. Add two tablespoons of salt to one of the dishes, and label it "salt water." Let the potatoes soak for 15 minutes.Compare the potatoes. Is there a difference in firmness? Why?

I predict that the salt water will make the potato softer and the normal water won't make a difference

The normal water did nothing and the salt water made the potatoes go softer.
