Spoiler: most of the potassium is in the peels.

10 kg of bananas.
6.56g flesh, 3.44 kg peel.
6.56 kg banana flesh -> 1.5 kg dried bananas (plus about 100 g corn starch, used to prevent sticking)
Flesh pyrolised in a charcoal kiln to 0.5 kg banana charcoal. Peels -> 0.12 kg.
Charcoal burned down to 67g (flesh) and 51g (peels).
Potassium precipitated out as potassium chlorate. 33g flesh, 41g peels.
Decomposing out oxygen -> 36g potassium chloride (potash) (combined, flesh + peels). Radiation was measured at this point with a Geiger counter, at about double the background rate.
Metalic potassium produced through an alkalai converter, though only at about 50% yield: 9g produced rather than the 18g expected. The initial potassium chlorate yield was also below that suggested by FDA nutrient standards. Cody discusses this in the video.
Slow-mo exploding potassium banana sequence at end.

And now disappointed that the article only answered the question? :D
