Cod

** I and my family have had a potassium problem. Do not buy potassium pills. Walmart sells them (It takes about 30 pills to equal one potato peel) plus potassium in chemical pill form is dangerous to you kidneys and bladder.

Yes, The peels of a potato is where the potassium is. (Of course, the peel plus the 1/4 inch of meat just below the peel.
(In sun light, you can actually see the potassium shade on the area just below the peel.)

Bananas - are now grown in potassium defficient soil, - consequently Laboratory test show (mostly) they have very little potassium. - The average Doctor still thinks bananas are high in potassium: they are wrong

Orange juice (especially too much OJ) - is bad for your bladder. It will actually strip some anti-bodies and give you a urinary infection. Or it will strip your good bacteria and give you a yeast infection. - even one glass per day will do this to some people.

A varied source of Potassium is good. However, the absolute best source is the potato peel plus 1/4 inch just under it of course.
