Food is a subject of frequent debate and no one seems to completely agree. I'd like to contribute though with some of my experience and knowledge. I believe there are two ways to look at the issue at hand:
- Your Body's Default Settings: Our body is a splendid vessel which is part of Mother Earth. It's flexible, strong and surprisingly durable. That being said, by default it works best when it is fuelled with natural food; things grown from the Earth, free of processing and tampering with. In time, we learned how to cook our food; we trade lost nutrients for sometimes better/new tastes and convenience (i.e. food that can be kept and stored longer when it is cooked, marinated or dried). In the last century we went overboard and, in the name of profit and convenience, we began producing and distributing food stuff which is far from ideal for the body (i.e. everything TV tells you to eat, basically). At the core however, our body works best when fuelled by food which is grown in nature.
- The Power of Your Beliefs & Manifestation: We're all part of God and we have the power to create, modify and/or destroy the reality we live in. We also have the ability to go heal ourselves and "hack" our body's default settings. A few days ago for instance, a 105-year-old woman when interview said the secret to her longevity was eating bacon every day (source article here). I won't begin to list the reasons why bacon is horrible for you. There's enough information available already online if you're interested. That being said, this woman believes bacon = longevity and so it is. Some people believe they live longer because they smoke, others just believe they will live long regardless of food, and so sometimes, if their beliefs are strong enough, it happens. Breatharianism is another great example of "hacking" your body into not eating and living off prana energy only. It's being taught as a discipline in a few Ashrams in India. Our reality is flexible and so we can change the way our body works to adapt to our needs. One who does that however needs to truly believe s/he can and live that way and without any fear of sickness, otherwise they will manifest disease.
Everything above is of course what I learned from experience, reading and from listening/communicating with my body as well as my soul. In answer to the original question, yes, in theory, you can live off potatoes and butter only. Is it good for your body? Not really. Can you do it? Yes, if you genuinely and completely believe you can.
