🇹🇷 Turkey recipe

Kumpir

Kumpir is Istanbul's beloved street food -- giant baked potatoes with impossibly fluffy interiors mashed right in the skin with generous amounts of butter and melted cheese, then piled high with an extravagant array of toppings. Originating from the Ortakoy neighborhood near the Bosphorus Bridge, each kumpir stall offers dozens of colorful toppings, making every potato a personal creation.
