1. Wash and dry the yams. Rub with a little salad oil, sprinkle with salt and bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Cool for 20 minutes. Cut a 1/4-inch lengthwise strip off each yam. 2. Using a small soup spoon, scoop out the yam meat, taking care not to puncture the skin. Mash the cooked yam in a bowl, placing the yam skins on a cookie sheet. 3. In a large saut pan, melt the butter and saut the onion and celery root for 3 to 5 minutes over low heat until the vegetables are tender. Add to the mashed yam and blend with cheeses (reserve some of the parmesan to top the stuffed yams). Season the mixture with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Taste. 4. Stuff the yam skins, packing fairly well and top with reserved parmesan. This part of the preparation may be done a day in advance. To serve, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until piping hot. Choosing the right size and shape yams is the key step for this recipe, says Josephine Segraves of Mudd's Restaurant. Jewel yams are best suited; choose ones that are cylindrical
