Potatoes En Coquilles

Wipe six good-sized potatoes, place on a roasting pan and bake in oven for forty-five minutes, remove, then cut in two lengthwise. Scoop out all the soft part and press it through sieve into a saucepan, add two ounces grated, cooked lean ham, one teaspoon chopped parsley, one ounce butter and two egg yolks. Season with a half teaspoon salt, three saltspoons white pepper, half saltspoon grated nutmeg, and briskly stir while cooking on range for five minutes. Beat up whites of the two eggs to a stiff froth, add to the preparation, gently mix, then fill up cavities of the twelve half shells. Place on a tin, sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese over, set in oven for ten minutes, remove and serve.
