Ingredients:

  • 4 yams, medium- sized
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F & set out a shallow baking pan.
  2. Scrub yams well & pat dry.
  3. Rub each with butter or salad oil, then pierce skin with a fork & place in the baking pan.
  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. While yams are cooling slightly, beat 2 egg whites until stiff, then set aside.
  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. To the pulp, add butter, salt & pepper & orange zest, beating to mix thoroughly.
  8. Fold in beaten & stiff egg whites.
  9. Stuff this filling back into the yam shells & sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Return to a 350 degree F oven & bake another 10-15 minutes before serving.
