    100 kcal russet potatoes, 3.7oz, will give you 570mg of potassium (12% RDA) and 20g net carbs
    100 kcal tomato soup, 3/4 cup, will give you 440mg of potassium (9% RDA) and 8.3g net carbs
    100 kcal banana, 4oz, will give you 400mg potassium (9% RDA) and 23g net carbs

    If you can live with the carbs and the calories, these are all good choices. But for me personally, none of them will work, because I can only eat 50g net carbs/day, and replaced my other carbs with these carbs there would be more critical deficiencies than I have now.

    100 kcal chard, 1.1 lb, will give you 2740mg of potassium (58%) and 10g net carbs

    I already eat a lot of chard, but this quantity is ridiculous. Nevertheless, if you don't mind eating a huge volume like this, here's another way you can get there without supplementation.
