This means the speaker wants to know what you don't like in the smallest amount.

Welcome to the forum, Blazya!
All right, let me ask you what you like doing least of all.
This is an indirect question, and that's why the auxiliary 'do' is not needed (nor is the question mark compulsory). The direct question would be:
All right, what do you like doing least of all?
Another example of direct/indirect questions:
What kind of music do you like?
I'd like to know what kind of music you like. |
