PREPARATION: 

Preheat oven to 450 deg F. with racks in top and bottom thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cook the bacon on one sheet on the top rack until crisp, flipping halfway through. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, chop bacon. Toss potatoes and bell peppers with oil and granulated garlic; season with salt and black pepper.

Transfer potato mixture to remaining prepared baking sheet and roast on bottom rack until potatoes are fork tender, appx 20-25 minutes; transfer to serving bowl. Whisk together vinegar and Dijon and pour over potato mixture while hot; stir in scallions and bacon. Serve warm.

HINTS: I used minced garlic and green onions in my dish because I have those in my garden.
