3 large sweet potatoes, or yams
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter, unsalted
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons honey
1 x salt
1 x white pepper
1 x ginger ground
1 x cardamom seeds ground
1 x cloves ground

1
Pare the sweet potatoes and cut into short sticks about 1/4 inch thick (if you have a food processor with a disk designed for french fries, use that).
2
Heat the oil and butter in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat; don't let the fat brown.
3
Add the potato sticks and toss to coat; season with salt, white pepper, about 1/4 teaspoon each of ginger, cardamom, and a small pinch of cloves.
4
Add 1/2 cup water, adjust the heat to medium-low, and cook, tossing often, but gently, for about 5 minutes, adding drops of water if needed to prevent sticking.
5
Add the honey and continue to toss-cook until the sticks are just tender and nicely glazed, perhaps 3 minutes.
6
Check the seasonings and serve promptly.
