Potions are essential for your success in Underkeep, especially if you're playing on Hard or without the Voidcaller class. Also, it makes foraging through the game more fun! You can buy most potions in shops, but it's much cheaper to craft them.

How to Craft Potions in Underkeep
To use recipes and craft potions and food, you need the Mortar and Pestle item. You can buy it in the shop or find it in Jacob's cottage in the woods. I suggest you buy it as soon as you can so you don't waste money on potions.
Where to Find Ingredients for Potions
You can get potion ingredients in two ways: buying them in shops and foraging. They're not very expensive, so you can find enough ingredients while adventuring. Don't waste money on ingredients, especially at the beginning; buy them only if you're short on supplies.
You can easily notice berries, flowers, and mushrooms in areas, especially in the woods. Just click on everything that's not green, and you'll get enough for crafting. I found that foraging in Underkeep takes time, and I got used to walking around by looking at the map, not the center screen. While this is faster for moving around, it makes you miss a lot of resources you need. Take your time exploring the woods if you're not in a hurry or being chased by enemies.
That's everything you need to know about Underkeep potion recipes. If we find more recipes, we'll add them to our list. For more help, check out the Underkeep classes and races guide.
