Easy and Quick Roasted Potatoes Vegan

I remember when my grandmother used to make roasted potatoes. She'd cook a whole chicken in a pan in the oven and surround it with cut up potato chunks. Every so often she would spoon some of the chicken ooze over the potatoes. What a flavor.

These potatoes use no chicken or any other animals. But they have all the flavor and tenderness still the same.
