To prepare fritters, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
Add leek, 2 tablespoons water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Saut 10 minutes or until golden, adding remaining 1/4 cup water as necessary to prevent leeks from sticking to pan.

Heat 4 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons potato mixture for each of 8 fritters into pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned.
Remove from pan. Repeat procedure with the remaining 4 teaspoons oil and potato mixture.
Sprinkle fritters with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
