Well, they could be, but aren't.

There's no reason that mashed taters can't be used the same way guacamole is. You could use it as a dip, a topping/condiment, or a main focus of a simple dish.

However, you can't mash potatoes without cooking them, which is a very important difference. They also aren't used in the ways guacamole is. Nor, imo, would they serve the same role as well.

Okay, I trust that you'll all respect that I'm entering a Judgment Free Zone.

There was a period in my life where I would buy grocery store potato salad and use it as a dip for Cool Ranch Doritos, and it was actually pretty good!

I don't do that anymore, but all I can say is that it's possible. Thank you for respecting my experiences.

Man, I'm in the camp of whatever brings you even a sliver of happiness that doesn't hurt someone else is all good. And food snobbery is dumber than dammit to begin with.

On another level, it really isn't any different than adding in some ranch flavoring into the potato salad and then mixing in something crunchy. Most store bought potato salad is very low crunch, and there's only so many ways to get it in there.
