Ingredients

• 1 - 10.5 Ounces (oz) can condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 - Cup heavy whipping cream
• 0.5 - Cup small curd cottage cheese
• 4 - Ounces (oz) cream cheese, cubed
• 0.5 - Cup sour cream
• 1.5 - Teaspoons (tsp) kosher salt
• 1 - Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 - Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1.5 - Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh thyme leaves, divided
• 0.5 - Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 2 - Pounds (lb) Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced
• 2 - Cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 30 - Whole buttery crackers, crushed
• 2 - Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine cream of chicken soup, heavy whipping cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, kosher salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook, stirring often, until the cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in thyme and pepper. Add potatoes and toss to coat fully.
3. Spoon half of the potato mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Press down gently and spread evenly. Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Top with the remaining potato mixture, pressing down and spreading evenly.
4. In a small bowl, stir together crushed crackers, melted butter, and the remaining 1 cup of cheese until evenly coated. Sprinkle over the potatoes. Place the baking dish on a large-rimmed baking sheet and cover with aluminum foil.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, removing the foil after 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and potatoes are tender.
6. Let the casserole stand for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme.

Enjoy this rich and satisfying dish as a side for your next family gathering or holiday meal!
