Kumpir (also compire[1]) is a baked potato with various fillings. It is a popular fast food in the Balkans.[2]
Name
[edit]Originally, the word Kumpir comes from the Palatine/Alemannic word Grumbier or Grummbeere ('ground berries'/potatoes => 'Grunbeern' => 'Grumbeern'). In this form, it was also used by German settlers in Southeastern Europe, the Danube Swabians, where it entered the Serbo-Croatian language as krumpir or krompir, and the Hungarian language as krumpli, and was spread as far as Anatolia by Balkan Turks who had contact with these German speakers.[citation needed]
Production
[edit]It is made with potatoes that are wrapped with aluminum foil and baked in special ovens. The potatoes are cut straight from the middle and the insides are mixed with unsalted butter and puréed with cheese added.[citation needed]
Variants
[edit]The above describes the basic kumpir. However, all sorts of foods can be added to the potato: mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, sweetcorn, sliced green and black olives, sausage slices, carrots, steamed peas, mushrooms and Russian salad.
