I usually do the sweet potatoes the same way as I make potatoes lyonnaise. Any sweetness is from the sweet potatoes themselves.

Curry at Thanksgiving seems like a stretch. It definitely looks like it has some serious calories. Worth a try.

I can't wait to deliver some of these sweet potatoes to a party. I never would have contemplated such a combination, but is sure looks good and healthy too.
