Microwave the potatoes according to package instructions.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons butter with heavy cream and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Set mixture aside.
In a small bowl combine the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, chives, and season with a salt and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
