Procedure:

1. Peel and dice potatoes and garlic into small pieces.(Small pieces help to cook faster. But you can cut in different sizes as you wish.)
   
   
   
   
2. Now place pan on a stove and pour 1/2 cup olive or any other oil you prefer into the pan and bring it to simmer then add diced potatoes into it and cook. After 5 mins add garlic into it.
   
3. Let it cook till it becomes soft and well cooked. To test, take a piece of potato and try cutting it with a knife. If it cuts smoothly then your potatoes are done. At this point add salt to taste and drain the excess oil from the potatoes and keep it aside.
   
4. In a separate bowl add 3 eggs, salt for the eggs, chilly flakes, pepper and any other seasonings which you want to add.
   
5. Beat the eggs and mix it with the potatoes and leave it for few mins to set.
   
   
   
   
6. Now again heat the pan and pour half of the mixture into the pan and place cheese slices on it just like shown in the pic below.
   
   
   
   
7. Now cover this with the rest of the mixture and leave it to cook on low heat for 2-3 min. At this point use your spatula to shape it like a cake(on sides and on top). 
   
8. Place a plate over the pan and flip it and slide it again into the pan just like shown in the pic. This may look tuff but it's kind of easy.
