Here are just a few from a site I found.
I also believe an avocado has potassium in it.
Food amount in MG.
Spinach, raw 3 oz. 403
Pork, cooked 3 oz. 334
Beef, lean 3 oz. 317
Artichoke 1 bud 300
Cauliflower 1 cup 295
Lettuce 1/4 264
Tomato 1 small 244
Chicken 3 oz 242

the atkins shake mix is around 500mg, a can of salmon approx 1000 mg, I think tomato juice, almonds, and broccoli are good as well.

I use the salt that is half sodium and half potassium, I think 1/4 tsp is 300mg of potassium.

1 florida avocado has nearly 1500 gs potassium! With the carbs being reasonable, I have been eating them to get that potassium in me! My understanding is that it is the most concentrated source.

Here is a site that names some potassium rich foods, along with the carb count.
