1. Do nothing for 9 months. This allows the pothole to mature until ready for step 2.
2. Put a traffic cone in the pothole.
3. After a couple weeks of public notice (traffic cone) dump hot asphalt into the hole, making sure to top off several inches above street level.
4. DO NOT WAIT for asphalt to cool down before opening the street. This allows for asphalt to stick to tires, shoes etc.
5. Make sure to leave a significant bump and don't compact the asphalt so next winter it will open up again.
6. Make sure to put any utility covers (manholes, drains etc) directly in the wheel path for maximum damage.
7. Profit!
Your English is very interesting by the way. You have some obvious grammatical errors in your text yet beautiful use of formal register.
