What makes Kumpir a Turkish street food star (and how it’s made)

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats and flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and adds a cheesy flavor.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt provides creaminess with fewer calories.

sausage

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: cooked beans

Grilled chicken is leaner; beans are a cost-effective protein.

Bake the potatoes in special kumpir ovens for about 45 minutes.

Prepare side dishes like homemade bulgur salad while the potatoes are baking.

Add toppings such as butter, cheese, corn, and salad to the baked potatoes.
