I know that you lose the potassium when you boil potatoes, so is the same true for prepared beans that come in a can? Obviously, it's still in the water, but I don't know how much leaches out and how much water the canning process retains.
yes.

Yes, potassium is healthy. Also, if you ever needed some carrots, beans, bananas etc. contain potassium.
According to the USDA there are 358 Mg of Potassium in Kidney Beans.
By eating bananas, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, beans or drinking wines.
Potassium, fiber, protein, iron, magnesium, and carbohydrates.
Not high, but pretty good. 100 grams (1/2 cup) will give you about 1/7 of your daily potassium needs.
You can get potassium from a large variety of foods, many people just think bananas but there are some from every food group! Apricots, avocados, carrot juice, lima beans, soy beans, and potatoes are just a few examples. http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/food/potassium-foods.htm
Probably the most well known, bananas are an excellent source of potassium. However potassium can also be found in orange juice, fish, nuts, beans, and chocolate.
Bananas are frequently mentioned, but there are many others. The general categories of foods that are high potassium foods are the whole foods - vegetables, fruits (especially if dried) and legumes. Most lean meats, lean fish, and wild game have high amounts of potassium. Grains without the bran (i.e., not whole grain) are low in potassium. All legumes are high potassium foods -- kidney beans, lentils, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), black beans, pinto beans are high potassium foods. Fresh foods are best. Some dried fruits are good sources -- raisins, dried apricots. Canned foods may be okay if not high in sodium, which is a frequent component of food preservatives use in canned foods. When cooking high potassium foods, steaming or broiling or microwaving is the best way to prepare the food. Boiling draws the potassium out of the food into the water. If the food is boiled, the water should be consumed to get the potassium into your body.
Eating beets helps with replenishing potassium levels the quickest. Also, try lima beans. If these are not available, then a banana is an ideal source.
Dried apricots are the highest potassium fruit. Avocados are second highest, and bananas are third. Beet greens, white beans, and potatoes (with most potassium being in the skin) are also incredibly high in potassium, all three being higher than the fruits. *according to the US Department of Agriculture Eating those foods may help. Also, try looking into potassium supplements. If you have a potassium deficiency, it may only be relative to your sodium intake. Try decreasing sodium while increasing potassium.
Lots of foods have potassium. Some of the highest are: Sweet potato, Tomato paste, Beet greens, Potato, White beans, Yogurt, Clams, Prune juice, Carrot juice, Blackstrap molasses, Halibut, Soybeans, Yellow fin tuna, Lima beans, Winter squash, Pacific rockfish, Pacific cod, Bananas,
