Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cook until just fork-tender, 2–3 minutes.
Drain, arrange in a single layer on a large plate, and chill until cold, about 20 minutes (handle potatoes delicately; they will be fragile until chilled).

Meanwhile, coarsely crush 1 Tbsp. mustard seeds.
Combine flour, cornstarch, 2 Tbsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. salt, crushed mustard seeds, and remaining whole mustard seeds in a large bowl.

Dredge potatoes in flour mixture, then transfer to a plate as you go.
Working in two batches, fry wedges, turning once halfway through, until crisp, 6–8 minutes per batch.
Drain on paper towels.
Transfer to a serving platter, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
