2) Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Drain on paper towels and finely chop.

3) In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, chopped bacon, bell pepper, onion, and scallions.

4) In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, mayo, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Pour over potato mixture, tossing gently to coat.
