Kumpir Sucuklu

Kumpir Sucuklu is a delicious and hearty Turkish pizza made with fluffy baked potatoes, topped with savory sucuk (Turkish sausage), fresh vegetables, and a blend of cheeses. This high-protein dish is perfect for a satisfying meal that combines traditional flavors with modern nutrition.

Ingredients

• Large potatoes - 2
• Sucuk (Turkish sausage) - 100 grams, sliced
• Mozzarella cheese - 100 grams, shredded
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Green bell pepper - 1, diced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick them with a fork several times. Wrap each potato in aluminum foil and place them directly on the oven rack.
3. Bake the potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife.
4. While the potatoes are baking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sucuk and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy. Remove from heat.
5. Once the potatoes are done, carefully unwrap them from the foil. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each potato, being careful not to cut all the way through.
6. Gently fluff the inside of the potatoes with a fork, and season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
7. Layer the cooked sucuk, diced red and green bell peppers, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled feta cheese inside the fluffed potatoes.
8. Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot.
