On the surface, it's potassium oxide, or one of the oxides of postassium. But there's a catch. Potassium has only one oxidation state, and it's +1 (strongly basic). It will combine with oxygen only in the ratio of two to one. That's two potassium atoms and one oxygen atom, which gives us K2O for a compound. There isn't any KO3 around anywhere. A link can be found below. Wikipedia has more information.
