  1. In a medium bowl, using a whisk or wooden spoon, combine 2 cups of the potato flakes with the milk, pumpkin, 1/3 cup of the egg substitute, the pepitas and the seasonings. Mix until well blended; set aside.
  2. Place the remaining 2/3 cup egg substitute in a small bowl. Place the remaining 1 cup of potato flakes into a pie plate.
  3. Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the reserved potato-pumpkin batter into your clean hands and form into 2 1/2-inch wide patties. Dip each patty into the egg substitute, then into the potato flakes, coating both sides. Repeat until you have enough to fill the skillet.
  5. Fry the patties in the hot skillet, cooking until golden brown on each side. Coat the skillet with more cooking spray if the patties begin to stick. Transfer cooked patties to a platter. Continue to form and fry patties until all the batter is used. Serve patties warm or at room temperature.
