As a major guacamole and mashed potato fan the answer is no. Too many major differences. Potato is a vegetable and avacado is a fruit. Mashed potato is primarily potato with spices and an oil while guac is a fruit with a few other fruits, fruit juices, vegetables like onion, and some spices. Guac also functions primarily as a dip while mashed potato is stand alone with the ability to function as a dip.
Vegetables aren't real. Potatoes are a tuber, avocado are a fruit, onion is a root, etc.
Vegetable is a culinary category but not a botanical one. Fruit is a botanical and a culinary category and the two categories overlap but are not identical. Tomatoes are fruits (botanically) and vegetables (culinarily) but not fruits (culinarily).
Also, potatoes are Peruvian not Irish
