You can bake them in oven instead of deep frying them to cut out the fat.

We buy feta cheese by the tub at Sam's Club, but have never prepared it this way. Hopefully we can find all the ingredients!

Scott, make sure if feta is in tub you dry it in paper towel before using, if its too wet potato balls will fall apart.

I've never seen Katafi for sale before, I wonder if it is it like the "shredded wheat" looking pastry you see in some sweet baklavas?
