Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until soft when poked with a fork. You can flip the potatoes halfway through roasting if you like.
While the potatoes are roasting, mix together the vinaigrette. Place all the ingredients in a medium bowl (big enough to toss the cooked poatoes) and whisk to combine. Reserve 2-3 tablespoons of the dressing for tossing the arugula.
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, 5-10 minutes. Then toss with the vinagrette. Arrange the arugula and bell pepper on a platter and toss with the reserved dressing. Pour the potatoes over top, then sprinkle with the walnuts and cheese (if using). Serve immediately. Enjoy!
