Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.Wash and dry all produce. Strip 2 tsp (4 tsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
Return the same pan to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then mirepoix. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies soften slightly, 2-3 min. Add half the thyme. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
Add bison to the pan with veggies. Cook, breaking up bison into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with pepper. Add tomato sauce base, stock powder, flour, 1 tsp (2 tsp) vinegar and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until combined, 1 min. Stir in peas and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Transfer bison filling to an 8x8-inch baking dish (same for 4 ppl). Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.Mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.Top filling with mashed potatoes. Smooth mashed potatoes over top, covering filling.
Place baking dish on a baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven, rotating the dish halfway through, until potatoes are golden-brown, 8-10 min. Meanwhile, halve grapes. Add remaining vinegar, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then whisk to combine.
