Add the onions and allow to cook for a couple of minutes, before adding the garlic and bacon.
Fry for a couple of minutes allowing the edges of the bacon to start to crisp up, before adding the potatoes. Turn up the heat a little and cook for a couple of minutes.
Add the cooked veg, season with salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes.
Add the grated cheese and mix through before removing from the heat.
Make sure the hash is spread evenly across the base of the pan.
