heeelllooo and welcome lewap

the easiest is fit the new door hinges and fill around
if painting you can fill with timber or hardboard and sand flat
other options are find a bit off timber say 10-12mm thick cut a tapered pocket o.5-1mm shallower than the timber and glue in well

The hinge recess in your pic is neat and tidy, were it old and bashed about I'd say fit a patch, but it's a reasonably skilled job to do it seamlessly.

If the "new" doors already have hinges fitted, consider moving them to marry up with the frame,(and then use a two-part filler to tidy up the door), or if they are only slightly misaligned, fit larger hinges.
