Pot holes are caused by water collecting in the road instead of running off the road.
Get the dirt away from road so water can run off. I use a combination of dirt, rock or gravel to fill holes. Let it get rained on. Pack in by driving on it.

It may take years to work the #2 in, depending on how heavy the traffic is. I have one drive for the trash man. He has a very heavy truck.
You want dirt, I like to use clay, around the rock to displace the water and hold the gravel in place. George
