* Prepare orange by cutting off strips of the rind, being careful not to include any of the white pulp just beneath the orange part of the rind.
Cut sufficient rind and cut into small slivers to make 2 Tbsp.. Squeeze the orange and strain; measure out 1/2 c. and set aside.
In small pan, combine 1 c. water and 1/2 c. sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat and then stir in orange rind which has been slivered. Lower heat and keep mix at barely simmering state; simmer uncovered till mix is like syrup, about 10 min or possibly so. Stir in the ginger and set aside to cold to lukewarm. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1/2 c. orange juice, whipping cream, margarine, vanilla and the 3 egg yolks. Beat this till very well combined. Stir in the cooled syrup mix and beat well. Place 2 egg whites in bowl and beat till soft peaks form. Stir this into potato mix; don't beat but blend it very well. Pour this mix into the unbaked pie shell. Make sure you smooth the top of the pie. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 45-50 min or possibly till knife inserted 1/3 distance from edge comes out clean. The center will be just the slightest bit soft. About 20 min before pie is done, prepare the topping.
TOPPING: Place the 4 remaining egg whites in a large bowl along with the cream of tartar. Beat at low speed till frothy. Increase the speed and VERY gradually add in the remaining 1/2 c. sugar. Continue beating till whites are very glossy and stiff. This will take about 12-15 min.
When pie is done, remove from oven and spoon on the egg whites. Do not smooth the top; make soft peaks with the back of a spoon. Continue baking for 10-15 min longer at the same 350-degree temperature till meringue is very light brown. Remove to a wire rack to cold.
* This topping will "weep" if kept overnight so plan to serve the same day it is prepared.
Serving Ideas : Serve this at a winter holiday feast.
