While your guy's job is to ensure your dad doesn't kick his backside when he meets your parents, your job is to ensure his mom doesn't see you as a bad influence on him. This should be easy, as long as you stick to the two golden rules:
Greet his parents with a friendly kiss on the cheek, and then after exchanging pleasantries, offer to help his mom in the kitchen. By contributing to the dinner, you will find yourself swiftly promoted from "potential threat" to "marriage material."
Remember that you're dating him, not them. Just be confident and relax, and if at any point you find yourself feeling uncomfortable, just grin and bear it. In exchange for a visit that lasts a couple of hours, you'll be avoiding months of his mom calling up to "innocently" inquire about whether or not he's still with you.
Even though it may seem like a job interview, meeting the 'rents is a lot easier when treated with an open and honest approach. If you appear as though you're trying to sell yourself to them, they'll find it difficult to warm to you. Keep in mind that if you've attracted him, then chances are you should be able to attract them too, so just be cool-headed and try not to worry too much about how you're presenting yourself.
Don't stress out over the small things and just ask yourself: "What's the worst that could happen?" You don't get invited back for more of his parents' roast potatoes? Who cares? Those things are as solid as house bricks anyway.
