Chips

1. In a pan, heat vegetable oil.
2. Test the oil with a wooden spoon or spatula (bubbles will appear if ready).

4. Fry the chips on one side for 30 seconds and flip and fry for another 30 seconds.
5. Place on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the oil.
6. Complete steps 3-5 until all wedges are used.

Tip: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add tomatoes and peaches for one minute. Transfer the peaches and tomatoes to a bowl of ice water, once cooled the skins should peel off easily.

Storage: Chips are best consumed within one day. The salsa can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
