Baked Stuffed Yams

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F & set out a shallow baking pan.

2. 2

   Scrub yams well & pat dry.

3. 3

   Rub each with butter or salad oil, then pierce skin with a fork & place in the baking pan.

4. 4

   Bake until soft, about 30-40 minutes, OR bake at a lower temperature along with meat for about 1 hour. Remove from oven.

5. 5

   While yams are cooling slightly, beat 2 egg whites until stiff, then set aside.

6. 6

   When yams have cooled enough to handle, cut a slice off a side of each yam so that you can scoop out the pulp into a mixing bowl & leaving about a quarter-inch thick shell.

7. 7

   To the pulp, add butter, salt & pepper & orange zest, beating to mix thoroughly.

8. 8

   Fold in beaten & stiff egg whites.

9. 9

   Stuff this filling back into the yam shells & sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese.

10. 10

    Return to a 350 degree F oven & bake another 10-15 minutes before serving.
