In a medium saucepan, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter, then add the chopped celery and green onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until they're softened. Add the 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the 1/3 cup of flour and cook for about 5 minutes, letting it toast slightly to cook out the raw flour taste. Then, add the 15 ounces of potatoes and 2 cups of half-and-half, stirring to combine.
