Eng/Tr // Baked Potato / Kumpir

This recipe will be my second post on the Foodies Bee Hive community. I love to cook various dishes from different regions, in fact, I was going to make you a very old forgotten taste special for Ramadan, but when kumpir, which everyone knows and enjoys eating, was on our iftar menu tonight, I gave priority to kumpir.

The baked potato I made was a little different from the one I made before, due to a small roughness at the last moment :(
Its taste is still in the original taste of my love, but its appearance is a bit far from the original. Let's say that the important thing is the taste of this image and the marbling interpretation of the kumpir ☺️

Kumpir

Material

• Large potatoes
• Butter
• Cheddar Cheese
• American salad
• Pickled Cucumbers
• Olive
• Mayonnaise
• Ketchup

Preparation of
We take our potatoes, one potato per person, and wash them thoroughly. After washing the potatoes, we do the first process to put them in the oven and wrap the potatoes one by one in oil paper.

Now, there is the second process to put the potatoes in the oven, that is, the process of wrapping the potatoes we have wrapped in oil paper in aluminum foil. We wrap all of our potatoes in aluminum foil again one by one.

And we put our potatoes, which we have wrapped in aluminum foil, in our oven, which we have preheated at 250 degrees, and we cook for about 1-1.5 hours.

While our potatoes are cooking in the oven, we prepare appetizers and salads that we will put in our potatoes according to your taste. We, as a family, do not like to mix kumpir, so we used three types of salad. I made the American salad by mixing the garnish with yogurt and mayonnaise, I chopped a lot of pickled cucumbers that my mother had prepared before, and added a little olives. Of course, I grate the cheddar cheese and put it in bowls.

The potatoes were finally cooked. I immediately took it to the plate without waiting, cut it in the middle with the help of a knife and started to crush the inside with the help of a spoon.

I added butter and salt to the potato first and made sure that it was mixed well and the potato was cooked. When the inside of the potato reaches the consistency I want, I add the grated cheddar cheese and mix it again until the cheese melts.

I added one of the side dishes we had prepared before to the potatoes in which butter and cheese were melted. You can add mayonnaise and ketchup to it. I didn't choose. You can put various garnishes in it according to your wish. The taste of the kumpir I make is the same as the ones I ate outside, I love this recipe. I hope you try it and like it.

As I am new to hive and the foodies bee hive community, I would greatly appreciate your support and sharing your knowledge with me so that I can do better. Good luck to those who will try. See you in new recipes.

Stay with love and health 🤍
