I'm not sure if there is a term for that (in English anyway, I'm sure
the French have a word for it). Perhaps you could call it a foundation, or
a bed, as in "served over a bed of potatoes".

I think you hit it with "bed". I see it used frequently; e.g., on a bed
of pasta, noodles, rice, etc. Recently, I saw a menu item for "Spicy
Pork Medallions on a bed of Sautéed Red Cabbage.
