This is because the verb "passen" requires the preposition "zu" if you are talking about combining two or more items. Another example:
Dieser Pullover passt sehr gut zu meiner Hose. (i.e., the style and the colors are harmonious)
You can use "mit" if you use another verb, for example:
Das Fleisch mit den Kartoffeln schmeckt sehr gut.

Fantastically makes sense, but when I just wrote "The potatoes go well with the meat" I got it wrong and it suggested "Go greatly" which ... is not something anyone would say.

"potatoes" is plural, "fits" is singular. Doesn't match.
And using "match" sounds far mor idiomatic.
