You might get a bunch of funny looks if you suggest something other than candied yams, but there's so many other options for sweet potatoes this holiday season. Here's some I've dug up, starting with the recipe I'll be debuting at the table on November 27th. Share any recipes you have in the comments!

Sweet Potatoes at Thanksgiving!
Sweet Potato Fries
A friend of mine made these delicious sweet potato fries for me during her last visit. They are awesome.
Ingredients:
1 - 2 Sweet Potatoes (or 1 gigantic Sweet Potato)
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel sweet potatoes (optional) and slice into thick strips (like steak fries.) A sharp knife will be helpful here. Drizzle olive oil over baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange sweet potato fries in one layer on baking sheet, turning fries over to coat in olive oil and add more if necessary (but not too much or they will be soggy.) Salt and pepper to taste once more. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip fries over for maximum crispiness. Depending on your preferred level of char, cook for another 15 - 30 minutes, or until fries are done to your liking.
