According to the USDA National Nutrient Database it can be done.

Hope that link works. If not, go to http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ click on Nutrient Lists in the lefthand column, and fill in the search criteria form.

According to the list, a cup of Potatoes (mashed, dehydrated, granules with milk, dry form) has 3696 mg. of potassium, which is pretty close (better than a banana, anyhoo). If you can down a cup of molasses every day (4934 mg), you've got it made!
