I'm American and was a chef in Amsterdam for 4 years in total (during 1990-2001) and ran a busy pub/cafe called Mr. Cocos which had all you could eat "BBQ" ribs and chicken which came with fries and 3 sauces. In Holland they are naturally on the Flemish side of the 'Great Fry Debate' that the Flemish NOT the French invented the fry. Who is right, that I am not sure but Vlaamse Patat or Flemish Fries are sold everywhere and when done right and served with the array of sauces (like sate and curry) are awesome! So to answer your question, in the Flemish/Dutch speaking part of Europe, this aluminum funnel shaped utensil is called a Frit Bakje (bok-ya).

Here is a link to the American version. Maybe in French it would be a Frite Bagger?

I believe the item is used after the second frying....looks a lot like a colander, only has holes in bottom, and a catch attachment for any grease that comes off while tossing and salting the pommes frites. I am looking for infor on finding one of these. Thanks
