Carefully remove the steamer basket and place the hot potatoes into a large bowl and cool in the refrigerator while you make the dressing.
In a small bowl, combine the green onion, dill, pesto, and olive oil. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the dressing to the cooled potatoes and gently mix mix it into the potatoes. Peel and dice the cooled eggs and sprinkle them over the top of the salad.
