Instructions: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and nutmeg in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with heavy-duty
foil. Spray foil with cooking spray. Using small sharp knife, make one 1/2 inch-deep lengthwise slit in each yam, leaving 1 inch uncut at each short end. Place yams on baking sheet. Bake yams until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

Cut slits across center of each yam. Press ends toward center to expose flesh. Transfer yams to platter. Spoon 1 tablespoon nutmeg butter into each.

Serve, passing remaining butter separately.

Yield: 12 servings
