Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until tender but firm. Drain and let cool.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the eggs in a separate pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 9-12 minutes.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and chop the eggs.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Add the cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the dressing. Gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve chilled, garnished with an additional sprinkle of smoked paprika and fresh dill, if desired.
