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

But is Irish guacamole just Peruvian guacamole served in Ireland?

This would be true if a potato was a fruit.
