1. Cut some ham and onions into shreds and toss with some of the shredded
sweet potatoes and either curry powder or garam masala. Cook in butter,
preferably over medium-low heat in a cast-iron pan, until browned on the
bottom. Flip and continue cooking until browned on the other side.

2. Toss with chopped shallots and powdered California chiles. Form into
pancakes and cook over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Squeeze
lime juice over and top with honey-sweetened yogurt.

3. Make a cooked sweet-potato/raisin salad. Gloria posted about it in
February; maybe she can be persuaded to share the recipe.

4. Mix shredded sweet potatoes with chopped raw shrimp, egg whites, ground
coriander, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Form into disks and fry
until crisp.
