Preheat oven to 225°F.
Peel potatoes and grate coarsely, transferring grated potatoe to a container of cold water. When last batch is added drain the potatoes in a colander and dry on a kitchen towel to remove excess water.
Transfer potato mixture to a medium-sized bowl, stir in onion, roasted garlic, egg and salt.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat.

Place cooked latkes on wire rack and keep in oven until ready to serve.
