Chuck a couple of large peeled whole potatoes in to boil with it, but make sure that you remove the potatoes at the end of cooking, thus removing the extra salty taste :)

I cook bacon hock and soup mixture together but don't add seasoning until its all cooked. Always do the taste test as Bacon Hock can be very salty, as songbird22 said a couple of potatoes will help as well.

Does the potato trick work in the crock pot?

I usually soak my bacon hock overnight ; still got the flavour but less salty.

I do that too Rosejenny - but the potato trick should work too.

Either soak overnight or you can bring it to the boil in water, drain and add fresh water to cook. My Mum always did one or the other.

Bacon hocks that are actually smoked, rather than chemically flavoured don't have a salt problem and they are 'dry'.

Buzzy, would you be able to point out who sells the good bacon hocks? Cheers.
