1. Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
2. While the potatoes are boiling, place the eggs in a separate pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool quickly, about 10 minutes.
4. Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half. Remove the yolks and place them in a large mixing bowl, setting the whites aside for later.
5. In the mixing bowl with the yolks, add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and creamy.
6. Finely chop the celery and red onion. Add them to the yolk mixture along with the chopped fresh dill and smoked paprika, then mix until fully combined.
7. Gently fold the cooled potato cubes into the creamy yolk mixture until the potatoes are well coated.
8. Chop the reserved egg whites and gently fold them into the potato mixture.
9. Season the salad with black pepper and adjust to taste.
10. Cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
