I never knew there was a different name for it. The cafetière is a new one on me, and I did French in high school. Guess we weren't talking about coffee much, though apparently french fries came up enough for me to remember pommes frites (they probably don't fry apples much over there).

Some fruits can be fried in the form of "beignets", which is fruit covered with batter and then fried. Apples are traditionally the most popular beignet recipe I think: "beignets aux pommes".

Pommes de terre frites or patates frites

Or just 'frites'

Most commonly, yes, just frites. Was just saying that pommes frites wasn't exactly right
