Steamy Turkish Baked Potato with Unlimited Toppings! - Turkish Kumpir | Turkish Street Food

Описание: Turkish baked potatoes, also known as Kumpir, are one of the most popular Turkish street food options you can find. The best place to eat Kumpir is in Ortakoy, Istanbul.

This neighborhood has a gorgeous view of the Bosphorus with the famous Ortakoy mosque and the Bosphorus bridge rising above it. The Turkish Kumpir stalls are lined one after another, vendors waving at you to get you to buy from their stall.

When ordering your Turkish baked potato, make sure to ask for a steamy hot one that is fresh out of the oven. The vendor splits the potato in two, adding a generous amount of unsalted Turkish butter, shredded Turkish cheese, and a pinch of salt. This is called plain Kumpir. If you want to add some toppings, you can choose the ones you like or you can ask him to add a spoon of everything on the buffet. Depending on your preference, the vendor adds the toppings and makes a pouch using foils, with the baked potato in it. Don’t forget to ask for some plastic spoons and napkins.

With your Turkish Kumpir ready to go, you can hit the Bosphorus and enjoy your Turkish street snack while admiring the breathtaking view of the Bosphorus and the Anatolian side of Istanbul ahead.
