  • To make the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl until everything is combined.
  • To serve, place the crispy warm potatoes in the bottom of some shallow serving bowls. Lightly toss the arugula with the peppers and portion the salad on top of the potatoes. Drizzle the top of each dish with the dressing. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
