My dad has a few dishes he can whip out that he's excellent at--tacos, grilling anything, and anything breakfast being the major ones. He also makes some kick-ass nachos and grilled cheese--his ultimate fallback meal. Dad will always offer to make a grilled cheese if you're hungry. And his potato salad is the stuff of legends.
My mom did most of the cooking when I was younger, and she taught me how to cook at a young age. On nights when Mom was playing soccer, though, Dad had to cook, and that usually meant tacos or breakfast for dinner. As I got older, and we were able to cook more on our own, Mom cooked less and less, and Dad cooked more and more. Sometimes, though, they would cook together--Mom would make the main dish and Dad would take care of all the sides, especially if it involved boiling potatoes.
All in all, yes, my dad knows how to cook, and he's a damn good cook too.
