I don't think there really is such a thing as a one for one substitute that
is really good. You can use potassium chloride, but that is not always the
best choice. There are some good seasonings, such as Mrs. Dash, that do a
pretty good job.

What works for us is to reduce, but not totally eliminate salt. Be
selective, Use other seasonings. After about 2 weeks you won't be craving
salt as you do now and you will find that most foods don't need nearly as
much as we thought. On potatoes, a blend of salt, garlic powder, black
pepper, oregano, basil is very good and the salt is reduced about 75% of
what we'd have used otherwise.
