Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Add cream of chicken soup, heavy whipping cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large saucepan over medium. Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese mixture is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in thyme and pepper. Add potatoes and toss to coat fully.

Spoon half of the potato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Using the back of a large spoon, gently press down and spread potatoes in an even layer; sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheese. Top with remaining potato mixture, gently pressing down and spreading potatoes in an even layer. Set aside.

Stir together crackers, butter, and remaining 1 cup cheese in a small bowl until evenly coated; sprinkle over potatoes. Transfer baking dish to a large-rimmed baking sheet. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil.
5
Bake in preheated oven, until the sauce thickens and potatoes are tender, about 1 hour 40 minutes, removing aluminum foil after 1 hour 10 minutes.

Let stand 15 minutes before serving; garnish with thyme.
