Preparation
- Step 1
In a Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 degrees.
- 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.
