In a medium bowl, stir all ingredients together. Form patties about the size of the palm of your hand. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes so cakes retain their shape and fry better.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. When it is hot, spray with cooking spray, then place patties in the pan.
Cook about 3 minutes, or until it is golden brown on the bottom. Cook for another few minutes on the second side. Remove this first batch of potato cakes from the pan and cook in batches until all have been cooked.
Serve hot or cold plain, with sour cream or Ranch dressing for dipping.
