New trend in Turkey: French Fries in a cone

November 16, 2009
Baked, grilled, pureed. Turkey has seen practically every form of potatoes. But now, one of Turkish cuisine’s most popular ingredients is being eaten from a cone.

Potatoes are no doubt one of the most indispensable ingredients in Turkish cuisine. They can be eaten on their own, as an ingredient in a complicated dish or simply as a garnish. Sometimes they are a main course, sometimes just a side dish. But fried potatoes are no doubt one of the most popular children’s foods.

Though fried potatoes have traditionally been served alongside pilav (rice) and köfte (meatballs) on Turkish menus, the spread and popularity of fast food in recent years now means french fries are often seen as a snack food, too -- so much so that you can now find spots selling fries in many corners of ?stanbul. And what’s more, in a cone!

In Turkey, fries served in a cone have been around for about the last six months. Some of the most popular spots for this snack in Istanbul are currently Be?ikta?’s Max4all and Istiklal Caddesi’s Patata. As for the potatoes themselves, they are fried in different ways depending on where you go to eat them.
