Rinse the mini potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring the water to a boil.
Boil the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain them in a colander and let them cool completely.
While the potatoes are cooling, thinly slice the cucumber and half of a red onion. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic (grate or finely chop the clove), salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
Chop the cooled potatoes into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Add the cucumber slices, red onion slices, and finely chopped fresh dill to the bowl with the potatoes.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until well coated. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best taste.
