Were there two or three food dishes your mother or father made that were especially memorable?

I loved the Spanish Rice that Mom made.  I loved the cabbage rolls (Holubets, in Ukranian) that Mom made.  In later years, Mom made really good chicken enchiladas.  Having such a large family, mom made the typical stuff.  Nothing fancy, but good.  Meat Loaf, Fried Chicken, fish sticks, roasted beef or pork roast with potatoes.
I loved the fried shredded potatoes that dad would make on Sunday mornings.  That was the only day of the week that we had a hot breakfast.  Cereal the rest of the time, mostly.
