1. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces (halves or quarters depending on their size).
2. Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
3. While the potatoes are cooling, thinly slice the red onion and chop the fresh dill finely.
4. In a small mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
5. Once the potatoes are warm but not hot, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the sliced red onion, capers, and fresh dill.
6. Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and gently fold it into the potato mixture.
7. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything until well combined, taking care not to break the potatoes or salmon pieces.
8. Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, though it can also be served at room temperature if desired.
9. Garnish with additional dill before serving, if desired. Enjoy your delicious smoked salmon and potato salad!
