Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and halve the baby potatoes, pat them dry, and toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender. Let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
Chop the red onion, celery, parsley, and dill finely. Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the roasted potatoes, chopped vegetables, herbs, and eggs.
Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and toss gently until everything is well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, black pepper, or a touch of honey for balance.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Serve cold or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish for barbecues, picnics, or weeknight dinners.
