The head of the Washington State Potato Commission Chris Voigt poses for a photo in Moses Lake, Wash. Voigt challenged himself to live on a potato-only diet for 60 days.

Voigt, head of the state potato commission, wanted to make a point about the humble spud's rich nutrients. You write the cutline. (AP Photo/The Seattle Times, Alan Berner)
