Scrub yams and boil in skins until tender (about 30 minutes). Drain and peel or use canned yams. Cut in halves or 1/2 inch slices and arrange in greased baking dish.
Note:
For an exceptionally pretty dish, place thin slices of fresh orange with peel diagonally across top of potatoes before adding sauce.
Combine remaining ingredients; cook, stirring until thickened. Pour over yams; cover and bake 20 minutes in 350F oven. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer. Garnish with parsley.
Serves eight to ten.
Freezes well.
