I know what ya mean...It might not seem like much, but when you lay them out in a pan, it just gets all around them enough to touch them with the saltwater, which is what I think the intent is. I do toss them once in the salt water before I let them rest, but I dunno if that makes any difference. I've done waterbaths before where things are usually submerged, like cucumber salads, etc, but maybe the starches are better preserved and the slices don't get 'fuzzy' on the outside, if you know what I'm saying. So far, it's worked for me for the 15+ years I've been making them.
