As far as I can tell, ya can't do potion recipes without some pretty significant custom code. If it's a custom crafting block, it might be possible, but if you're trying to do a vanilla recipe with potion effects, I'm not sure where you'd start.

Loot tables are a bit easier, it's just a loot function. So you'd make your custom loot table using the basic potion item, lock the loot table, and then go into the code and add this to the functions, using your desired potion effect. It should look something like this:

{
          "type": "minecraft:item",
          "name": "minecraft:potion",
          "weight": 1,
          "functions": [
            {
              "function": "set_count",
              "count": {
                "min": 1,
                "max": 1
              }
            },
            {
              "function": "set_nbt",
              "tag": "{Potion:\"minecraft:regeneration\"}"
            }
          ]
        },

Microsoft has a pretty good guide on this, it's technically for bedrock modding, but the formats are mostly the same.
