Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold in Parmesan and cayenne with a rubber spatula. In batches, drop small teaspoonsful of the mixture into the hot oil and fry until lightly browned -- about 2 minutes -- turning puffs as necessary. Drain puffs on wire rack, sprinkle with more cheese if desired and serve immediately, accompanied by tartar sauce.
