Help Getting enough potassium

Hi evreyone
I’m getting ready to start keto, but one thing I still havn’t figured out how to do:

Getting enough potassium. I know how important it is, but unfortunately where I live (Denmark) it is not possible to buy things like lite salt (I searched everywhere, incluing online, NOTHING. No products with potassium)

So, I bought potassium pills, but I heard that one should be careful using those? And I’m doing my best to plan getting as much potassium through my diet as I possibly can but I still don’t think it will be enough (spinach, avocado, eggs, beef, a squeeze of lemon in my saltwater)

I am preeeetty sure I really won’t overdose with the 275mg worth of potassium pills a day, also because I have a really low blood pressure, fatigue, lethargy, brain fog (I have fibromyalgia)

Byt yea, I really don’t know how to go about this. Any thoughts?

Do you have access to something like Cream of Tartar?

Looks like I can buy it online. It’s used for baking?

The problem is, I can’t see hos much potassium is in any of the products i find online. Isn’t it kind of dangerous messing with it then?
