Fill a medium-sized pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any large ones into halves. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate small pot, place the eggs and cover them with water. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 9 minutes. Once cooked, place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel and roughly chop them.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped tarragon, salt, and black pepper to form a creamy dressing.
Add the cooled potatoes and chopped eggs to the dressing. Gently fold everything together until the potatoes and eggs are coated evenly.
Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool for a few minutes, then mix them into the salad.
Arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the egg and potato salad onto the leaves, dividing it evenly.
Garnish with additional tarragon leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
