Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
Wash and dry the red potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the potato cubes with olive oil, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly covered with the seasoning.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and add it to the bowl, mixing it through the potatoes.
Place the seasoned potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
Check potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or herbs if desired.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish that's easy on the heart and full of flavor.
