I have been using mealie and it has been very good.

Second the Mealie suggestion, very solid.

I have been pretty happy with tandoor recipes. It and mealie are pretty similar. It doesn't have a dedicated mobile app, but it is a progressive web app, and ihas worked well on my phone.
I chose tandoor because it did something that mealie didn't at the time I installed. But I don't recall what that was.
I also started with mealie and moved to tandoor for the ability to adjust the recipe when changing the portion size. Was that the feature you were thinking of?
Admittedly, never tried Mealie but the PWA works excellently, the shopping list/planning are nice and I’ve enjoyed it so far.

The recipe import feature is quite nice - it worked flawlessly for most of the websites i tried
Edit: Formatting
Nextcloud has a recipe add-on "cookbook" which is pretty good, works for me.
If you already have nextcloud, it isn't a bad simplistic recipe manager. I think it needs fom improvement though.
Nice that it natively supports multiple users. Many dont.
I use tandoor myself, but mealie is also a solid choice
Nextcloud has a plugin called "Cookbook" which works pretty well as a recipe manager: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/cookbook
Recipe scraping works well for well-established websites (who use standard: https://schema.org/Recipe). Small blogs don't use that and the scraper/importer doesn't work. It works on most sites I've tried though.
I don't really like the idea of Nextcloud, as I feel like it's a jack of all trades kinda software.
Recipe scrapers are interesting. Unfortunately, though, I can't seem to get them to work with most sites I use. It might be because most recipes I follow are Bengali, and come from smaller blogs. My Recipe Box works great with them. I wish they made their scraper public.
Kitchenowl has been my go-to recently for shopping lists and recipes. I don't have any recipe collection though; I mainly add random stuff from the internet. It's a fairly simple self hosted app, easy with docker.
If you've got a lot of recipes, a wiki would probably be a good idea.
