Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While potatoes are boiling, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the diced carrot and cook for another 5 minutes until the carrot begins to soften.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, nutritional yeast, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
Add the almond milk mixture to the skillet, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the boiled potatoes. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the potato mixture into the frozen vegan pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
