Method

  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet, flipping occasionally, until it becomes crispy, which usually takes around 10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and crumble it.

  2. Put the potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they become tender, which typically takes about 25 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely before cutting them into bite-size pieces. Place the cut potatoes in a serving bowl.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, mustard, pesto, and oregano. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

  4. Add the arugula, onion, chives, and crumbled bacon to the serving bowl containing the potatoes. Pour the prepared dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are coated with the dressing.

  5. You can serve the dish immediately or cover it and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve.
