POTATO SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium pot, add the potatoes, some salt and water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Strain and halve the potatoes.
• In a small glass jar, combine the oil, mustard, vinegar, agave syrup and garlic. Shake vigorously until emulsified. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

Drain, discarding the bay leaf; transfer the potatoes to a bowl (halve any that are large). Add the peppers and scallions; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and toss.
