Method
Boil the small potatoes in salted water until tender, then drain.
Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in minced garlic, chili flakes, thyme, and salt to create a garlic butter.
Wrap each cooked potato with a slice of bacon and arrange them in a baking dish.
Place the Camembert block beside the potatoes in the dish.
Generously drizzle the garlic butter over the potatoes and the Camembert.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (top/bottom heat with convection) for 15 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the Camembert is melted.
Serve hot, allowing the potatoes to be dipped into the melted Camembert.
