Method

Heat the oil and sauté the garlic and potato very slowly until the potatoes start to turn transparent. Add the red pepper, the seasoning, the tomato juice and the tomatoes and simmer over a low heat until the potatoes are soft, stirring now and then.

Take off the heat, cover with the cheese and allow it to melt before you serve.
