Turkey in 2020: Let's Eat Kumpir!

Kumpir means ‘baked potato’ in Turkish language and I heard from many tourists that how big and filling it is.

Since I was in Antalya for three days and we were exploring all the necessary attractions so Kumpir was my first lunch here at Terra City Mall.

The making is followed by a few steps that is :

1.The guy will fill the potato with butter and cheese to make the texture soft.

2.You are allowed to select a maximum of 6-7 fillings of your choice.

3.Now you can eat.

Kumpir are Turkish style baked potatoe, but that’s interesting that in each countries local cuisine offer similar dish :smile: In Poland we have very similar version of potatoe :smile: it called ‘gzik’. You can find main ingredients only in Poland, it’s very specific fatty cottage cheese. Furthermore, we add 12% cream, bunch of chives and garlic. The recipe is really simple: just mash the curd with a fork in a large bowl, add cream and mix everyting thoroughly until the ingredients combine.
