Kumpir

Ingredients

• Potatoes — 2 pcs
• Butter — 2 tbsp
• Cheese — 150 g
• Onion — 1 pcs
• Red Pepper — 1 pcs
• Red Chilli Flakes

Steps

1. If you order kumpir in Turkey, the standard filling is first, lots of butter mashed into the potato, followed by cheese. There’s then a row of other toppings that you can just point at to your heart’s content – sweetcorn, olives, salami, coleslaw, Russian salad, allsorts – and you walk away with an over-stuffed potato because you got ever-excited by the choices on offer.
2. Grate (roughly – you can use as much as you like) 150g of cheese.
3. Finely chop one onion and one sweet red pepper.
4. Put these ingredients into a large bowl with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper, chilli flakes (optional).
