Fasolada beans are small (not "giant") and the dish as a whole is a soup, whereas gigantes are not. I lived in Athens for four years, ate my share of both bean dishes, could make them in my sleep! :) About the Cypriot meat balls, I've never seen keftedes with potato in them, BUT since it's Cypriot, who knows, maybe it's a bit different. But since it's fried though, to me it sounds like some sort of fried ball patty with meat. On lesvos, they do tons and tons of fried patty things (crab, feta, tomato, potato - all fried balls, many of which have cumin in them, yum!) Got me, though!

We bring it to neighbors, friends, everyone enjoys it. They even serve it as a staple on Wednesdays at a big Greek restaurant here in Chicago. You can even prepare it the night before, and then eat it the day after, it tastes even better! Great recipe for a big family, or a hungry single! My family loves it!

I don't think their 'koupes' like Antonis mentioned as they are made with bulger wheat, also shaped like rugby balls, but bigger and are filled with mincemeat mixture. Both are very delicious and served with lemon juice. Hope that helps! Hiya,
