"patates" is slang for potatoes (the usual word is "pommes de terre").
"son francaise est des patates" isn't correct, but I guess it is meant to mean more or less "he doesn't speak French well at all".
What I would say instead is "Il parle mal français" or "Il parle français comme une vache espagnole" (literaly: he speaks French like a Spanish cow!)
Hope it helps!

Patates is potatoes in France slang but not rude
You use it also for players who have not played well
In a soccer match :3ils ont joué comme des patates"
they did not play well

They're both right.
But to answer your question : "son française est des patates" doesn't mean anything :)
