3
Cut shortening (or butter) into dry ingredients with a pastry blender (or two butter knives) until pea-sized bits form.
4
Beat egg in a small bowl. Add orange juice and water. Fold liquid into dry ingredients by hand until flour is just moistened. Fold in sweet potato mixture.

NOTES: This recipe takes a small sweet potato or half of a large one. The original called for two 9x5 loaf pans and baking for 40 minutes, but I like the bigger single loaf. The substitutions in parentheses are also my changes from the original.
