I am a chef on a luxury world cruise liner. I love to cook and write recipes that are inspired by foods from all over the world.

French fries are a popular snack all over the world, although they are often prepared slightly differently depending on where in the world you are. During a visit to Turkey, I had the chance to sample a local street food called patso, which is a Turkish sandwich stuffed with French fries. Let me show you my own version of this delicious snack.
