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

One of the stars of Turkish street food is kumpir. A large, baked potato filled with all kinds of ingredients and topped with various sauces. Ortakoy in Istanbul is perhaps the best place to try this Turkish classic. It may not be quite as well-known as kebab, but it is at least as filling.
